I am hoping to move into my new home in Burnham On Sea next Friday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the lender. What risks does the lender expect the insurance to cover?

All property lawyers on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 conditions. These obligations are not limited to conveyancing in Burnham On Sea.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Burnham On Sea. I have a mortgage offer with RBS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel.

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Burnham On Sea. My mortgage broker suggested a lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £175. Shortly after, the lawyer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Skipton panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Planning on purchasing a apartment in Burnham On Sea. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Burnham On Sea property lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Burnham On Sea 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?

In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer should be aware exactly where to locate all the relevant paperwork so you can purchase or sell your property without any difficulty. If duplicates are not available, your conveyancer can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your property.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Burnham On Sea I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Burnham On Sea for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
