Can you help - my lawyer advises that breach of easement insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Kimberley conveyancing?
The appropriate level of breach of easement indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Kimberley bank branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Kimberley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the conveyancer is on the bank panel, she or he must follow the CML Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 remaining.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Kimberley. Conveyancing and Aldermore mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing practitioner in Kimberley who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
First make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Kimberley conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
