Due to move into my new home in Aigburth next Friday. My conveyancer now wants me to supply her with evidence of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the lender. What risks does the lender expect the insurance to cover?
Any lawyer on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Aigburth I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Aigburth for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

You can appoint a conveyancing practitioner now so that the solicitor can open the file so they can commence their ID checks etc. Once you wish them to start work they will seek a deposit normally approximately £225. That would generally be after you have the mortgage offer and valuation back, however if you want to speed the process you can get going sooner even though you may be risking some money.
