Can you help - my lawyer advises that restrictive coveneant insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Wavertree?
The appropriate level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and Virgin Money. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I am expecting a AIP from Skipton this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Wavertree solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Wavertree solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Wavertree. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £225. A few days later, the solicitor contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nottingham panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I bought my house on 14 February and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Wavertree expressed confidence that it will be formalised inside ten days. Are properties in Wavertree uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Wavertree registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I work for a reputable estate agency in Wavertree where we have experienced a few leasehold sales put at risk as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Wavertree conveyancing solicitors. Please can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations.
