Due to move into my new home in Lymington next Monday. 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 lender. What does the insurance need 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 specific to conveyancing in Lymington.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nationwide. Lymington conveyancing practitioners have been selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Nationwide?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Nationwide done the valuation? Have you informed Nationwide as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I have paid off my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Lymington property lawyer on the Co-operative panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Co-operative mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Co-operative mortgage from the register. Co-operative, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Our offer on a property in Lymington has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Lymington. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Aldermore going?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Lymington conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancer is on the Aldermore approved list. Regarding the next steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many purchasers would apply for a home loan with Aldermore and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their solicitor to move forward with searches.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Lymington I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lymington for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can 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 term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
My wife and I have AIP from Barnsley Building Society who have advised that they will loan up to £400k. When do I need to instruct a practitioner for conveyancing? Lymington is where we plan to move to.
You can instruct a conveyancing practitioner now requesting that they generate a file on your behalf. This will enable: 1) the estate agent to issue a Sales Memo to all parties 2) the seller’s solicitor to submit the draft contract. However, do not ask your property lawyer to order searches until you have your valuation report from Barnsley Building Society and you are content to move forward.
