Due to move into my new home in Lymm and Warburton next Tuesday. My lawyer now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the bank. What risks does the lender expect the insurance to cover?
All property lawyers on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. These obligations are not specific to conveyancing in Lymm and Warburton.
I am aiming to move house in April. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Lymm and Warburton. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from your estate agent but this should only take place when the sellers solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you can tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Lymm and Warburton or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Lymm and Warburton.

My partner and I are in the process of viewing houses in Lymm and Warburton and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancer appointed at this stage? I am planning to take a home loan with Kent Reliance.
It would be sensible to instigate your search sooner rather than later.

Me and my brother own a terraced Edwardian property in Lymm and Warburton. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and TSB. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Lymm and Warburton and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
How does conveyancing in Lymm and Warburton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Lymm and Warburton come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Lymm and Warburton typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Lymm and Warburton or who has acted in the same development.

I have recently realised that I have Fifty years left on my lease in Lymm and Warburton. I now want to get lease extension but my landlord is absent. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you have made all reasonable attempts to track down the landlord. In some cases an enquiry agent may be helpful to conduct investigations and to produce an expert document which can be used as proof that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on devolving into the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Lymm and Warburton.
