Please help - my lawyer advises that breach of easement insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Burton Joyce?
The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Burton Joyce bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Burton Joyce conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the lawyer is on the lender approved list, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
About to purchase flat in Burton Joyce. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Burton Joyce solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.

Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Burton Joyce. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Leeds Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Burton Joyce and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Burton Joyce with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about the side-deal as it may put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
