Please help - my lawyer says that absentee landlord insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Bishops Cleeve conveyancing?

The right level of absentee landlord indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and Virgin Money. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Bishops Cleeve. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. RBS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with RBS your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to RBS where a lease does not satisfy these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Bishops Cleeve.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Yorkshire BS are being pedantic. The Bishops Cleeve solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Yorkshire BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I am planning on selling our home in Bishops Cleeve and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bishops Cleeve. We have lived in Bishops Cleeve for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
