I have been told by my lawyer that absentee landlord insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Hackney?

The right level of absentee landlord indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

When it comes to lenders such as Leeds Building Society, do Hackney property lawyers have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

is it true that all Hackney solicitor firms on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. The majority of lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Hackney concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Hackney is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Hackney are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hackney you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hackney may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
