Can you help - my lawyer advises that flying freehold insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Upper Norwood?

The right level of flying freehold indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

I'm the only beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Upper Norwood. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in February. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation principally exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.

My wife and I are in the throws of looking at flats in Upper Norwood and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a property lawyer appointed at this point? I intend to finance via a mortgage with TSB.

It would be sensible to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with TSB, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the TSB conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

The primary upside of using a high street Upper Norwood conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to sign paperwork, hand in your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local Upper Norwood know how is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and on the whole were content that must surpass using an unfamiliar Upper Norwood conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being local.

My wife and I intend to acquire our first home in Upper Norwood. Conveyancing practitioner has been selected. The broker suggested that a survey is not appropriate as the property is just fifteen years old.

At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. As the property is more than 10 years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could suffice. The report should highlight any apparent issues and suggest further investigation if appropriate. Where there are any indications of material issues seek a comprehensive Building Survey from the beginning.
