Please help - my lawyer says that chancel insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Romiley conveyancing?
The appropriate level of chancel indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and Virgin Money. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Principality are being problematic. The Romiley solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality 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.

Please supply a car parking plan. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Romiley. Before diving in I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Romiley - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

You should be aware if it is fewer than eighty years it will impact the value of the flat. Check with your bank that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely need a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of what this will be. Remember, in most cases you will be be obliged to have owned the residence for a couple of years before you are legally able to extend the lease. It is important to be aware whether changing the roof or some other significant cost is coming up that will be shared between the tenants and could well materially increase the the maintenance fees or require a one time invoice.

My hope is to acquire a garden flat in Romiley. Conveyancing lawyer has been awaiting, from the vendor, building insurance documents.
