All was ready to complete my purchase in Tyldesley next Friday. 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?
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 requirements. These requirements are not specific to conveyancing in Tyldesley.
It is is a decade since I acquired my property in Tyldesley. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my title documents. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be with the lender or they may still be with the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Tyldesley involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.
I have todaybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Tyldesley for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Tyldesley conveyancing specialists.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to appointing a Tyldesley conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?
If you are instructing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Tyldesley conveyancing firm) it is imperative that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you speak with several firms including non Tyldesley conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be useful:
-
Can they put you in touch with clients in Tyldesley who can give a testimonial? If they are not ALEP accredited then why not?

What are my options where I am dissatisfied with the property lawyer who conducted our conveyancing in Tyldesley?
Occasionally the level of service you receive is not as you expect, and is is a fact of life that occasionally matters do not go as planned. That being said there is recourse where you were unhappy with your conveyancing in Tyldesley. This varies from trying to resolve matters directly with them, through to reporting a lawyer to their governing body. If things still aren’t resolved you may consider enlisting the help of the Legal Ombudsman.
