Please help - my lawyer says that breach of easement insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Crabtree conveyancing?
The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Santander and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

I have instructed a Crabtree property lawyer having made sure that they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Coventry BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Coventry BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Crabtree postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Coventry BS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Crabtree.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Crabtree I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Crabtree for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
I have been recommended by a couple of local estate agents in Crabtree to select a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your lawyers over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to give any commission for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
