Please help - my lawyer says that lack of right of way insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Langstone?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
Can I be sure that the Langstone conveyancing solicitor on the Nottingham panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Langstone obtaining recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.
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 telephoned my Langstone bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Langstone conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the property lawyer is on the bank approved list, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the lender. 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I am downsizing from our house in Langstone and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Langstone lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Langstone. We have lived in Langstone for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with 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)

I'm purchasing my first flat in Langstone with a mortgage from Santander. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about this deal as it will affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
