Can you help - my lawyer says that defective lease insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Penylan?
The right level of defective lease indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
We had appointed solicitors located in Penylan on the Skipton solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental charge for the legal aspects of the Skipton mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Skipton?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Skipton but by your Penylan solicitor. Numerous firms on the Skipton panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
We were going to get a OIP from RBS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do RBS recommend any Penylan solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Penylan solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.

Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Penylan , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Penylan conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my name is recorded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Penylan registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the premises so 'speed' is not always top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Penylan is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Penylan are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Penylan you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Penylan 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.
