Can you help - my lawyer advises that breach of easement insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Ollerton conveyancing?
The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
How can we know in advance if a Ollerton conveyancing solicitor on the Clydesdale panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Ollerton seeking recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

My wife and I are in the process of viewing houses in Ollerton and I am about to put in an offer. Is it best to have a lawyer on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a mortgage with Lloyds.
It would be sensible to commence your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the estate agent. As you are taking out a mortgage with Lloyds, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
My colleague recommended that if I am purchasing in Ollerton I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
A search of this type is usually quoted for as part of the standard Ollerton conveyancing searches. It is a large document of about 40 pages, listing and detailing important information about Ollerton around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Ollerton Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Ollerton Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Ollerton.
I am purchasing my first flat in Ollerton with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this deal as it will impact my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Ollerton I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Ollerton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

Fees for conveyancing in Ollerton differ, so it's sensible to obtain at least three estimates from varying types of conveyancers.

I am hoping to sell a garage which is on a separate legal title with the land registry and hope to get 30k, to clear debts. There is a mortgage with Principality. Is it possible for you to suggest a cheapish property lawyer as the usual £600-£700 eats in the return somewhat. Although I live in Ollerton I dont need to instruct a Ollerton lawyer.
