I am being advised by my conveyancer that chancel insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Huntingdon?
The appropriate level of chancel indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Santander and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
We had selected conveyancers located in Huntingdon on the UBS solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a supplemental fee for the legal aspects of the UBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by UBS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by UBS but by your Huntingdon conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the UBS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.
I am expecting a OIP from Nottingham this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nottingham recommend any Huntingdon solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Huntingdon solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nottingham through the process.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Huntingdon I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Huntingdon suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
Do I need to be suspicious about brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a local Huntingdon conveyancing practice?
As with many professional services, often input from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are lots of players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may recommend solicitors to retain. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there exists a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to choose your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that most banks specify a panel list of solicitors you must use for the lender aspect of your house move.

I'm remortgaging a house in Huntingdon. I can find my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't find my conveyancer's name on the list. Is this a big problem?
Not every individual in the company must be listed by the regulator. As long there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the work, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unqualified staff.
