My conveyancer has informed me that lack of right of way insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Longlands?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
Intending to buy a flat in Longlands. 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 Skipton 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 Longlands conveyancing practitioner is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
My offer on a house in Longlands has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Longlands. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Barclays?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Longlands conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Barclays approved list. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many buyers will apply for a home loan with Barclays and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Longlands.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Longlands is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?

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.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent informed us that the owners will only move forward if we instruct the agent's recommended solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Longlands
We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Longlands conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.
I've recently bought a leasehold property in Longlands. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
