I have been advised by my conveyancer that chancel insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Chadderton?
The right level of chancel indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between HSBC Bank and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Coventry BS are being problematic. The Chadderton solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Coventry BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS 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 am buying a new build house in Chadderton with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it may put at risk my loan with The Royal Bank of Scotland. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
Last November I purchased a leasehold flat in Chadderton. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge liability? Most Chadderton leasehold properties will incur a service charge for maintenance of the block levied on behalf of the freeholder. If you purchase the flat you will have to meet this amount, normally quarterly throughout the year.

There will also be a ground rent to be met annual, this is usually not a exorbitant figure, say about £50-£100 but you need to check it because occasionally it could be many hundreds of pounds.
