I am being told by my conveyancer that chancel insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Braintree conveyancing?

The right level of chancel indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Bank of Ireland are being a right pain. The Braintree solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Bank of Ireland are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I purchased a property in Braintree last 13/11/2024 and to date it is still not registered with the Land Registry. It is part of a new estate and my lawyer told me that it may take twelve months to register. I have contacted HM Land Registry directly and they say that the initial application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Do I need to be concerned?

It is your property lawyer that you should turn to here in order to satisfy any issues which have been raised as part of the registration process for your Braintree property. Normal Braintree conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the seller's property lawyer that they will assist in resolving any question raised by HMLR so it may be a case of taking action to enforce that undertaking in some way.
