I am hoping to complete my purchase in Melling 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 mortgage company. What does the insurance need to cover?
All property lawyers 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 Part 2 instructions. These requirements are not limited to conveyancing in Melling.
What is the best way to find out if the solicitor conducting my conveyancing in Melling is on the bank’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Yorkshire Building Society thus paying £175.00 in another set of conveyancing fees.

Me and my brother own a renovated Edwardian house in Melling. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Lloyds TSB Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should read 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 Melling and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
