There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

I am buying a ground floor apartment in Redruth. Conveyancing lawyer has been awaiting, from the owner, building insurance schedule.

Is it really required? We have been stalled for the last 4 weeks…

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Redruth to find Conveyancing in Redruth in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the freeholder insuring the complete premises - which is definitely preferable. You should double check with your solicitor but it would appear that your conveyancer is seeking to establish that the whole building is insured. Insuring your flat is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be rebuilt due to lack of insurance cover.
