Can you help - my lawyer says that breach of easement insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Mosborough?

The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Mosborough. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Mosborough. My mortgage broker suggested a conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £150. A few days later, the conveyancer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Bank of Ireland panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I completed on my apartment on 10 October and my personal details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Mosborough expressed confidence that it should be registered in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Mosborough particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Mosborough is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not always top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Mosborough I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Mosborough in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed apartment in Mosborough. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently had a yearly service charge demand – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is clear the service charge as normal as all ground rent and service charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
