All was ready to move into my new home in Mold next Monday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer 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 conditions. These obligations are not unique to conveyancing in Mold.
Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Mold costs more?
The conveyancing costs for a leasehold premises in Mold is inevitably higher as compared to a freehold acquisition or disposal. This is because there is an amount of extra time required in liaising with the freeholder and management company to collate the information about whether the rent and service charges have been discharged and whether there are any significant expenditure in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the building.
I am assisting my niece sell her property in Mold. Will the conveyancing solicitor commission the energy performance certificate or should I organise this?

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, are being difficult. The Mold solicitor who is on the conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Mold I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Mold in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated 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 could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
