Please help - my lawyer advises that breach of easement insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Glynneath?

I have paid off my mortgage with Santander. I assume I don't need a Glynneath solicitor on the Santander panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Santander mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Santander mortgage from the register. Santander, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Santander has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Santander has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Virgin Money are being a right pain. The Glynneath solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Virgin Money are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Virgin Money have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Virgin Money have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Virgin Money 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 moved into my apartment on 2 April and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Glynneath expressed confidence that it will be formalised in less than a month. Are properties in Glynneath uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Glynneath registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. As of today in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

In relation to leasehold conveyancing in Glynneath what are the most common lease problems?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Glynneath. All leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are erroneous. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage A duty to insure the building
You may have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Barclays , The Royal Bank of Scotland, and Godiva Mortgages Ltd all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease.
