My conveyancer has informed me that absentee landlord insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for North Yorkshire conveyancing?
The right level of absentee landlord indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Santander and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my North Yorkshire bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My North Yorkshire conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the lender panel, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a flat in North Yorkshire accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in North Yorkshire. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Kent Reliance started?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, North Yorkshire conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance approved list. Concerning the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of buyers would apply for a home loan with Kent Reliance and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancer to move forward with searches.
I have been told that property searches are the primary cause of delay in North Yorkshire conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in North Yorkshire.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in North Yorkshire in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend refuse to give a loan on this type of property.
