Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Caistor costs more?
In short, leasehold conveyancing in Caistor and elsewhere usually requires additional work compared to freehold conveyancing. This includes reviewing the lease, communicating with the landlord concerning serving applicable notices, procuring current service charge and management information, securing the landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – regardless of the fact the lease has passed through many different property solicitors hands since it was first granted.

We had selected conveyancing lawyers based in Caistor on the Lloyds solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional charge for handling the Lloyds mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Lloyds?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Lloyds but by your Caistor lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Lloyds panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Principality are being a right pain. The Caistor solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality 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.
