The right level of missing deeds indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Santander and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

I can not fathom if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Ebbw Vale bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Ebbw Vale conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
The lawyer has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Ebbw Vale I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ebbw Vale for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Ebbw Vale. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Ebbw Vale - 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.
