I am hoping to complete my purchase in Turvey next Thursday. My conveyancing practitioner now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the bank. What risks does the bank expect the insurance to cover?
Any lawyer on acting for mortgage companies 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 Turvey.
As I am unsure how the conveyancing bit works what is the most important advice you can impart regarding purchase conveyancing in Turvey?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Turvey or throughout Bedfordshire is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. For example, the vendor, selling agent and on occasion your bank. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Turvey should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the legal process whose interest is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a potential adversary may attempt to convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the property agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is contrary to your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to attend the offices of the solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Turvey so that I can attend their offices when needed.
These days conveyancing panel lawyers for mortgage companies undertake the vast majority of communications via the post, e-mail or over the phone. This enables them to conduct the legal work for your home move regardless of where you live in the country. That being said you can see if you can still book an appointment to visit conveyancing lawyer if just in case this is required.

I am looking at a two flats in Turvey which have approximately forty five years unexpired on the lease term. should I be concerned?
There are plenty of short leases in Turvey. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As the lease gets shorter the saleability of the lease reduces and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is generally wise to extend the lease term. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.
