I am purchasing a ground floor maisonette in Hornsey Rise. Conveyancing lawyer has been awaiting, from the seller, building insurance documents. I was told today I was advised that the vendor needs to forward the insurance schedule for the flat above also. Why does my conveyancing practitioner need to see the insurance for the other flat? Is it strictly required? We have been stalled for the last fortnight…
It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Hornsey Rise to find Conveyancing in Hornsey Rise in a minority of cases reveals that the lease obliges the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats as opposed to the landlord insuring the complete block - which is definitely better.

Insuring your residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reconstructed for lack of insurance cover.
