Please help - my lawyer says that lack of right of way insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Kimbolton?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Kimbolton. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Kimbolton bank branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Kimbolton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Various online forums that I have frequented warn that are the number one reason for hinderance in Kimbolton conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and order up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.
