Due to complete my purchase in Mapperley next Thursday. 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 mortgage company. What does the insurance need to cover?
All property lawyers on acting for banks 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 instructions. These obligations are not specific to conveyancing in Mapperley.
When will exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Mapperley and am I required to attend the conveyancers office?
If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Mapperley you are invited in to sign documents. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Mapperley)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I bought my apartment on 10 May and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Mapperley said it would be dealt with in less than a month. Are titles in Mapperley uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Mapperley registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not always top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
