Please help - my lawyer says that flying freehold insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Long Buckby?
The right level of flying freehold indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between HSBC Bank and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Santander are being difficult. The Long Buckby solicitor who is on the Santander conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Santander are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Santander have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Santander have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Santander may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
My wife and I are selling our property in Long Buckby and according to the buyers it appears 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 a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Long Buckby. Having lived in Long Buckby for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must 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 ailment)
I own a terraced Victorian house in Long Buckby. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Barnsley Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. Is it worth asking Barnsley Building Society to clarify?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Long Buckby and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.

Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

My wife and I expecting to complete buying a property in Long Buckby but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have negotiated recompense from the current proprietors of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet the mortgage company will not permit this. Should they have been informed?
The lawyer listed on a mortgage company conveyancing panel is obliged to advise the mortgage company of any amendments to the purchase price. If you did not allow your conveyancer to notify the reduction to your mortgage company then they would need to discontinue representing you and the mortgage company.
