Can you help - my lawyer says that breach of easement insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Northampton conveyancing?
The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
We previously selected conveyancing lawyers locally in Northampton on the Coventry BS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental charge for dealing with the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Coventry BS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer may levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Coventry BS but by your Northampton conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Coventry BS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Leeds Building Society are being pedantic. The Northampton solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Leeds Building Society are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Builders have suggested I use a lawyer and I've obtained a quote from them. They are almost two hundred pounds cheaper than my own Northampton conveyancer. What's the catch?
Builders often have panels of conveyancing practitioners who are quick and who know the seller’s contract and solicitor. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to select a preferred conveyancer for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a developer will not suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they need an exchange in 28 days. The argument for not opting for the suggested property lawyer is that they may prove unwilling to 'push' your interests for fear of alienating the sellers. If you worry that this may be the situation you should remain with your local Northampton conveyancer.
