I am buying a ground floor apartment in Glynneath. Conveyancing solicitor is waiting for, from the seller, building insurance documents. This afternoon I was advised that the vendor needs to send the insurance schedule for the flat above in addition. Why does my conveyancing practitioner want to review the insurance for the other flat? Is it really necessary? We have been stalled for the previous month…

It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Glynneath to discover Conveyancing in Glynneath in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the entire building - which is definitely better. Do double check with your lawyer but it would appear that your conveyancer is seeking to establish that the complete building is insured. Insuring a ground floor flat is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be rebuilt as a result of lack of insurance.
