Please help - my lawyer says that defective lease insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Carnforth conveyancing?
The right level of defective lease indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

I currently have a mortgage with Clydesdale for my property in Carnforth. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Clydesdale?
Your original mortgage agreement with Clydesdale will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Clydesdale’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Clydesdale will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Clydesdale directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Clydesdale conveyancing panel firm.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Carnforth I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Carnforth for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
Do I need to be suspicious about brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Carnforth conveyancing practice?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often input from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are numerous people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all suggest conveyancers to appoint. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to appoint your preferred conveyancer. Don't forget that most mortgage providers operate an approved list of solicitors you must use for the lender aspect of your home move.
