I am being told by my lawyer that defective lease insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Blackwall conveyancing?
The right level of defective lease indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Barclays and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
Can I be sure that the Blackwall conveyancing solicitor on the Lloyds panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Blackwall obtaining recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

About to purchase house in Blackwall. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Blackwall conveyancing practitioner is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
Should my lawyer be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Blackwall.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Blackwall. There are those who buy a property in Blackwall, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Blackwall. The conventional set of information supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the seller to find out if the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer could commence a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate reply. The buyer’s lawyers may also order an environmental report. This should reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be made.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Blackwall I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Blackwall for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Blackwall. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Blackwall - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
