IfI were to acquire a freehold housein Liskeard mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Liskeard?
Any savings you would make would be isolated to the Liskeard conveyancing searches. Your solicitor still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with the vendors solicitor, SDLT submission, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a mortgage however it will not be significant.
I am being advised by my solicitor that missing deeds insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Liskeard?
The appropriate level of missing deeds indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Yorkshire BS are being a right pain. The Liskeard solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Yorkshire BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
About to purchase maisonette in Liskeard. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the UBS 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 Liskeard conveyancing practitioner is on the UBS conveyancing panel.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Liskeard I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Liskeard for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
