All was ready to complete my purchase in Plasmarl next Tuesday. 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?
All property lawyers on acting for banks 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 obligations are not limited to conveyancing in Plasmarl.
What happens if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Santander Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Plasmarl?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
I am purchasing a terrace house in Plasmarl. We would like to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to ascertain if these alterations are prohibited?
Your solicitor will check the deeds as conveyancing in Plasmarl can occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of alterations or necessitated the permission of another owner. Certain additions call for local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
My wife and I have organised the release of further funds on our mortgage from Principality as we wish to conduct alterations to our property in Plasmarl. Do we need to appoint a high street Plasmarl solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Principality would not normally require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Principality panel.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Plasmarl. I have a mortgage offer with Bank of Ireland. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

I am attracted to a couple of apartments in Plasmarl both have approximately 50 years remaining on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
A lease is a right to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the marketability of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. For this reason it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
