I have been told by my lawyer that missing deeds insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Coalville conveyancing?

The right level of missing deeds indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Coalville agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Coalville. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with HSBC?

It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Coalville conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many buyers will apply for a home loan with HSBC and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Coalville.

I purchased a terraced Georgian property in Coalville. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Halifax. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Coalville and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

I am purchasing a new build house in Coalville with a loan from Birmingham Midshires. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it may jeopardize my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
