I am hoping to complete my purchase in Hoxton next Thursday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the mortgage company. What risks does the mortgage company expect the insurance to cover?

Any lawyer on acting for banks 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. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 instructions. These requirements are not limited to conveyancing in Hoxton.

Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Hoxton costs more?

The conveyancing costs on a leasehold premises in Hoxton is inevitably higher when contrasted to a freehold property. This is because there is an amount of extra investigations necessary in liaising with the freeholder and management company to collate the information concerning whether the rent and service charges have been cleared and whether there are any major works due in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the building.

My wife and I purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Hoxton. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will legal due diligence on the property include investigations to determine if these works are permitted?

Your conveyancer will check the deeds as conveyancing in Hoxton will sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of changes or necessitated the consent of another owner. Certain additions call for local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be prudent to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

Please help - my lawyer advises that lack of building regulations insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Hoxton conveyancing?

The right level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Santander and Virgin Money. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Lloyds, do Hoxton conveyancing practitioners incur a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are unaware of any lender fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

How does conveyancing in Hoxton differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Hoxton come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Hoxton usually acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Hoxton or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Hoxton is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Hoxton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hoxton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hoxton may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
