I have been advised by my conveyancer that chancel insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Penzance conveyancing?
The right level of chancel indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Santander and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
I am the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Penzance. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in February. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. Most banks would take a pragmatic view as this provision is principally there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of property.
We are selling our home in Penzance and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Penzance lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Penzance. We have lived in Penzance for many years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

My fiance and I are buying a 2 bedroom maisonettein Penzance with a mortgage from a mortgage company. We like our solicitor in Penzance but our bank says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint from the our mortgage company panel firms or stay with our Penzance solicitor and incur the extra fees for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our bank use our Penzance lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage company mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Penzance : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
