My lawyer has informed me that chancel insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Kirkby conveyancing?
The right level of chancel indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Kirkby. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an upfront payment of £225. Soon after, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nottingham panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am intent on selling our house in Kirkby and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Kirkby. Having lived in Kirkby for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Kirkby is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Kirkby are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Kirkby you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kirkby 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 residence.
