Due to move into my new home in Rainford next Thursday. My conveyancing practitioner 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 lender. What risks does the mortgage company expect the insurance to cover?
All property lawyers on acting for mortgage companies 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 specific to conveyancing in Rainford.
The deeds to our home are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Rainford 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
Gone are the days when you need to hold title original deeds to prove you are the owner of your registered land or property, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Rainford I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Rainford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may 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 existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
