I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in Kilburn Park. My lender is The Mortgage Works
The Mortgage Works have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 13/11/2024, the requirements read as follows :
I just bought a house at auction in Kilburn Park. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?
Having legally committed yourself to purchase you should instruct a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you are facing a pending a fixed date to complete the deal. Every auction property will have a bespoke auction set of papers. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. If you have purchased leasehold premises the conveyancing papers should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation relating to leasehold premises. You need to give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. Do make sure that your finances are organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
Does a directory service exist listing Coventry BS panel conveyancers in Kilburn Park on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few lenders make their panel listings visible over the internet. If you are looking for a Kilburn Park property lawyer on the Coventry BS please make the most of our tool.
I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Kilburn Park building society branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Kilburn Park conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the lawyer is on the bank approved list, they must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Kilburn Park is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Kilburn Park 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 Kilburn Park you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kilburn Park 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 premises.

I have just appointed agents to market my basement flat in Kilburn Park. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently received a yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you clear the invoice as normal because all ground rent and maintenance charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
