I have been advised by my solicitor that breach of easement insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Vauxhall conveyancing?
The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Vauxhall lawyer on the Co-operative panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Co-operative mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Co-operative mortgage from the register. Co-operative, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Kent Reliance are being difficult. The Vauxhall solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Kent Reliance are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance 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.
I bought my flat on 13 September and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Vauxhall expressed confidence that it will be dealt with inside ten days. Are transfers in Vauxhall uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Vauxhall registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. Currently in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Vauxhall I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Vauxhall for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

A conveyancing firm dealt with my conveyancing in Vauxhall half a dozen years ago and was holding my title documents but has now closed – how do I retreive these?
Deeds, as such, no longer exist as the majority of homes in Vauxhall are recorded digitally at Land Registry. Where you need to show evidence of proprietorship or are selling or refinancing your lawyer should obtain up to date copies of the register from the Land Registry in any case.
