Please help - my lawyer advises that flying freehold insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Ravenglass?

I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Ravenglass building society branch on numerous occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Ravenglass conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
The conveyancing practitioner has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 specifications for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Virgin Money. Is it usual for Virgin Money to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Ravenglass is approved on their conveyancing panel?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Just bought a semi-detached house in Ravenglass , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Ravenglass conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure the registration is concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Ravenglass is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any third parties. At present roughly three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
