My lawyer has informed me that lack of planning permission insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Rusholm conveyancing?
The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Rusholm conveyancing practitioners were chosen. How long does it take for Principality to send the offer to the property lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Principality completed the survey? Have you advised Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Rusholm bank branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Rusholm conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Your conveyancer has to comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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.

Please supply a car parking plan. 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. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

I bought a property in Rusholm last 10/6/2024 and to date it is still not registered with the Land Registry. It is part of a new estate and my solicitor told me that it may take twelve months to register. I have spoken with HM Land Registry directly and they say that the original application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Should I be concerned?
