Can you help - my lawyer says that restrictive coveneant insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Kelsall conveyancing?
The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and Virgin Money. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
My wife and I are at the point of viewing flats in Kelsall and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a mortgage with UBS.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. As you are obtaining a mortgage with UBS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the UBS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Kelsall off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with TSB. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Kelsall differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Kelsall come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Kelsall tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Kelsall or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Kelsall is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Kelsall are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kelsall you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kelsall may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
