I am purchasing a ground floor maisonette in Penn. Conveyancing solicitor is awaiting, from the seller, building insurance documents. I was told today I was informed that the owner needs to send the insurance paperwork for the flat above in addition. Why would my property lawyer want to see the insurance for the flat above? Is it strictly required? We have been stalled for the last 2 weeks…

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Penn to find Conveyancing in Penn in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the whole premises - which is definitely preferable.
