My solicitor has informed me that chancel insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Godshill?

The right level of chancel indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

When it comes to lenders such as Virgin Money, do Godshill lawyers face a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?

Planning on purchasing a flat in Godshill. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS 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 Godshill lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.

There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Godshill is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Godshill are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Godshill you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Godshill may determine 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 residence.

Am I better off to appoint a Godshill conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am buying? We have a good friend who can carry out the legal work but her office is over three hundred kilometers drive away.

The primary upside of using a high street Godshill conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, deliver your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust instructed your friend and in the main were happy that must outweigh using an unknown Godshill conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
