I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Johnstown. My lender is Tesco Bank

Tesco Bank have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 31/8/2026, the requirements read as follows :

I have been told by my lawyer that lack of building regulations insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Johnstown?

The appropriate level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Virgin Money. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Johnstown. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. HSBC have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that your lender is HSBC your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The CML Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to HSBC where a lease does not meet these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Johnstown.

The mortgage over my property is with TSB for my property in Johnstown. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform TSB?

Your original mortgage agreement with TSB will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact TSB directly. You need not do this via a TSB conveyancing panel solicitor.

How does conveyancing in Johnstown differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Johnstown contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because builders in Johnstown tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Johnstown or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Johnstown prior to instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will not give a mortgage on a flying freehold house.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Johnstown. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

As co-executor for the will of my uncle I am disposing of a residence in Monmouth but live in Johnstown. My lawyer (who is 260 kilometers awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec before completion.

strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are based in Johnstown
