I have been advised by my lawyer that defective lease insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Lavenham?
The right level of defective lease indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I happen to be the single recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Lavenham. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in June. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. many lenders would take a practical view as this clause principally exists to pick up on subsales or the flipping of properties.

My wife and I own a semi-detached Georgian house in Lavenham. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Barnsley Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Lavenham and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Lavenham is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Lavenham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Lavenham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lavenham may decide 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 premises.
