Can you help - my lawyer advises that restrictive coveneant insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Charlbury conveyancing?
The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
Is it the case that all Charlbury CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the HSBC conveyancing panel?
A selection of banks and building societies now use CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their panels.
I can not work out if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Charlbury building society branch on various occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Charlbury conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the conveyancer is on the mortgage company panel, they must comply with the CML Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
