Please help - my lawyer advises that lack of planning permission insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Bourne End conveyancing?

I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Bourne End building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Bourne End conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the lawyer is on the bank panel, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

The sellers have put an offer on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Bourne End. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Bourne End conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your solicitor is on the Virgin Money approved list. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Bourne End.

three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Bourne End concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Bourne End I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Bourne End in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
