I am being told by my lawyer that absentee landlord insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Braunstone conveyancing?
The right level of absentee landlord indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

I bought my house on 13 July and the transaction details is not yet registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Braunstone advises it should be concluded inside ten days. Are titles in Braunstone uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Braunstone registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property therefore post completion formalities is not always an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How does conveyancing in Braunstone differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Braunstone come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Braunstone tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Braunstone or who has acted in the same development.

Flying freeholds in Braunstone are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Braunstone may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
