Due to move into my new home in Flint Mountain next Tuesday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor 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 lenders 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 instructions. These obligations are not specific to conveyancing in Flint Mountain.
We are planning on selling our home in Flint Mountain and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Flint Mountain. We have lived in Flint Mountain for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
The deeds to my property are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Flint Mountain 10 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be retained by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to perform a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and obtain current copies of the property title for a small fee. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.
