Due to complete my purchase in Gotham next Tuesday. My property lawyer now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the lender. What does the insurance need to cover?
All property lawyers on acting for mortgage companies would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. These requirements are not specific to conveyancing in Gotham.
Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Gotham?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Gotham your solicitor will request that you place them with monies to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. If any down payment is payable against the purchase price then this should be required immediately before exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is needed will be payable shortly before completion.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Gotham I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Gotham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

I am short of a 10% deposit on my house purchase in Gotham , but I am anxious proceed. What can I do?
One option is to try and accept a smaller deposit. Most property owners will agree to a smaller deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
