Please help - my lawyer advises that restrictive coveneant insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Newbury Park conveyancing?
The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
I happen to be the sole recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Newbury Park. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in May. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. Most banks would take a pragmatic view as this obligation primarily exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
My husband and I have arranged the release of further monies on our mortgage from Yorkshire BS as we want to carry out improvements to our house in Newbury Park. Are we obliged to choose a nearby Newbury Park solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Yorkshire BS would not normally appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Yorkshire BS list.

Please supply a car parking plan. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Newbury Park I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Newbury Park in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
My work colleague mentioned that before selecting a conveyancing solicitors they need approved by your lender. This is my first house move but I have an offer in principle from Virgin Money and I already have a bricks and morter conveyancing lawyer in Newbury Park on standby. Will Virgin Money need an approved lawyer to be instructed? If so, where do I find that list for my conveyancing in Newbury Park?
You need to choose a solicitor that is on the Virgin Money panel. Simply ring your preferred Newbury Park conveyancing lawyer and ask if they are on the Virgin Money panel. If they are not on the panel you have a couple of options open to you here:
- Carry on with your preferred Newbury Park conveyancer but Virgin Money will no doubt appoint a lawyer from their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional cost and likely delay.
- Appoint a new conveyancing practitioner to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check that they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
- Convince your lawyer to attempt to join the bank panel.
