I am hoping to move into my new home in Meliden next Thursday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the bank. What does the insurance need to cover?
Any lawyer on acting for mortgage companies 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 requirements are not limited to conveyancing in Meliden.
I am aiming to move property in December. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Meliden. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from your estate agent but this can only be done after the previous owners conveyancers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. After that you should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Meliden or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Meliden.

Should our conveyancer be raising questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Meliden.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Meliden. Plenty of people will acquire a house in Meliden, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that can be initiated by the buyer or by their lawyers which can figure out the risks in Meliden. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard inquiry of the vendor to discover if the premises has historically flooded. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer may bring a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading reply. The buyer’s lawyers will also order an environmental report. This should reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be initiated.

If you are instructing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Meliden conveyancing practice) it is imperative that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you make enquires with several firms including non Meliden conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be useful:
-
How experienced is the practice with lease extension legislation? If the firm is not ALEP accredited then why not?
I own a 2 bed flat in Meliden, conveyancing was carried out January 2008. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Similar flats in Meliden with a long lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2099
With 74 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence.

There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
