Please help - my lawyer advises that defective lease insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Whalley conveyancing?
The appropriate level of defective lease indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
We had chosen conveyancing lawyers based in Whalley on the Lloyds solicitor panel. They have just billed me an additional sum for dealing with the Lloyds mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Lloyds?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Lloyds but by your Whalley conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Lloyds panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Barclays are being pedantic. The Whalley solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Barclays are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Barclays have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Barclays may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

I have been recommended by a number of property agents in Whalley to find a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your site ahead of another?
We refuse to give any commission for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
