Can you help - my lawyer advises that flying freehold insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Aldermanbury?
The right level of flying freehold indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Barclays and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

Our offer on a house in Aldermanbury has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Aldermanbury. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Lloyds?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Aldermanbury conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should check that your property lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Regarding the next steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of buyers will apply for a home loan with Lloyds and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Aldermanbury.
How does conveyancing in Aldermanbury differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Aldermanbury approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Aldermanbury usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Aldermanbury or who has acted in the same development.

I am purchasing a ground floor flat in Aldermanbury. Conveyancing solicitor is waiting for, from the vendor, building insurance schedule. This afternoon I was informed that the owner needs to send the insurance documents for the flat above as well. Why does my conveyancer want to see the insurance for the flat above? Is it really required? We have been in hold for the last fortnight…
It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Aldermanbury to discover Conveyancing in Aldermanbury in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the freeholder insuring the complete block - which is definitely better. You should double check with your lawyer but it would seem that your lawyer is looking to establish that the complete building is insured. Insuring a ground floor residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reinstated due to lack of insurance.
