All was ready to move into my new home in Irthlingborough next Tuesday. 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 lender. What risks does the lender expect the insurance to cover?
All property lawyers 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 UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook instructions. These obligations are not unique to conveyancing in Irthlingborough.

Helen (my wife) and I may need to sub-let our Irthlingborough 1st floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Irthlingborough conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
The lease governs relations between the landlord and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will say if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Irthlingborough do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the flat. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.
I am the registered owner of a 1 bedroom flat in Irthlingborough, conveyancing formalities finalised in 1997. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable flats in Irthlingborough with a long lease are worth £211,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2092
You have 68 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
We have been informed by many friends to expect up to two months for Irthlingborough conveyancing to complete.This was a month ago. The paperwork was only received from the vendors conveyancer a few days ago so now does it countdown?
