All was ready to complete my purchase in Anlaby next Monday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the mortgage company. What does the insurance need to cover?

There are numerous conveyancing solicitors in Anlaby but how do I know who I should use?
It would be unwise to be swayed by the lowest Anlaby conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Anlaby. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £200. Shortly after, the lawyer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Nationwide 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 Nationwide 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 work for a reputable estate agent office in Anlaby where we have witnessed a number of flat sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Anlaby conveyancing solicitors. Can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer 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 buyer.
Anlaby Leasehold Conveyancing - A selection of Questions you should consider Prior to Purchasing
-
How much is the ground rent and service charge? For many Anlaby leaseholds the outlay for major works tend not to be included within maintenance charges, although a few managing agents in Anlaby require leaseholders to pay into a sinking fund and this is used to offset against larger works. Please note that where the lease has less than 80 years it will impact the salability of the property. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. A short lease means that you will almost definitely need a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of what this will be. Remember, in most cases you would be required to have been the owner of the residence for 24 months in order to be eligible to exercise a lease extension.
My lawyers in Anlaby have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the bank. Is it case that being on the lender conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a prescribed period?
It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the bank Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
