I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that seems to tick a lot of boxes, at a reasonable figure which is making it all the more appealing. I have subsequently been informed that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold. I am assuming that there are particular concerns purchasing a house with a leasehold title in Bethnal Green.

I am buying a ground floor flat in Bethnal Green. Conveyancing lawyer is waiting for, from the vendor, building insurance schedule. I was told today I was informed that the seller must send the insurance schedule for the flat above as well. Why would my lawyer want to review the insurance for the other flat? Is it strictly required? We have been in hold for the last month…

It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Bethnal Green to find Conveyancing in Bethnal Green in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the entire property - which is clearly better. Do contact your lawyer but it would appear that your property lawyer is looking to verify that the whole building is insured.
