I selected a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Leyburn recently. After carefully reading the official terms of business it is apparent thatwe are liable for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to instruct an on-line lawyer promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Leyburn?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be higher to offset those cases that do not go ahead. You should be mindful that these offerings tend not to protect you from expenditure such as Leyburn conveyancing search charges.
I am hoping to complete my purchase in Leyburn next Friday. My solicitor now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the mortgage company. What risks does the mortgage company expect the insurance to cover?
All property lawyers on acting for banks would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 requirements. These requirements are not limited to conveyancing in Leyburn.
My friend suggested that where I am purchasing in Leyburn I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Leyburn I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Leyburn in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
