Can you help - my lawyer advises that chancel insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Gosport?

It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Gosport bank branch on various occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Gosport conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The conveyancer has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Gosport. My financial adviser suggested a solicitor. I paid an on account payment of £150. Shortly after, the solicitor contacted me to say that they were not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Clydesdale panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Should my conveyancer be asking questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Gosport.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Gosport. There are those who purchase a house in Gosport, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or by their solicitors which can figure out the risks in Gosport. The standard property information forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the seller to determine whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser may issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate reply. The purchaser’s lawyers should also carry out an enviro search. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be made.
