My conveyancer has informed me that restrictive coveneant insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Oswestry?

The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.

It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Oswestry building society branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Oswestry conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

Your conveyancer has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two specifications for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
