I am being advised by my lawyer that lack of building regulations insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Kettering conveyancing?
The right level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Kettering bank branch on various occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Kettering conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the solicitor is on the mortgage company approved list, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Kettering lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
