This afternoon I was advised that the vendor needs to send the insurance schedule for the flat above as well. Why does my conveyancing practitioner need to see the insurance for the other flat? Is it strictly required? We have been waiting for the previous month…

Insuring your flat is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reconstructed for lack of insurance.
