Can you help - my lawyer advises that missing deeds insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for East Barming conveyancing?

We had appointed conveyancing lawyers located in East Barming on the HSBC solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a separate charge for handling the HSBC mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by HSBC?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by HSBC but by your East Barming conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the HSBC panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in East Barming. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the East Barming solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in East Barming I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in East Barming in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
My intention is to purchase a garden maisonette in East Barming. Conveyancing lawyer has been awaiting, from the owner, building insurance paperwork. Earlier today I was advised that the vendor must send the insurance schedule for the flat above in addition. Why does my conveyancer need to review the insurance for the other flat? Is it really necessary? We have been stalled for the previous 3 weeks…
It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in East Barming to find Conveyancing in East Barming in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the freeholder insuring the entire property - which is clearly better. Do clarify with your solicitor but it would seem that your property lawyer is seeking to verify that the complete building is insured. Insuring your flat is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reconstructed as a result of lack of insurance cover.
