Restrictive Covenant consent
Received lots of paperwork from my solicitor along with a huge bill!
The property I’m buying had an extension 13 yrs ago the vendors think. My solicitor has advised me to get an indemnity policy in place for the lack of restrictive Covenant cinder in respect of the front extension.
is this necessary?
Also I’ve received a quote from ISIS conveyancing insurances with no explanation as to W that it’s for. In 2 differing letters I’m told I must pay for this followed by the sellers must pay.
Anyone..... out of my depth here.

Seller should have obtained consent when work done so he should pay for indemnity policy. Your solicitor should i nsist on that.RICHARD WEBSTER
As a retired conveyancing solicitor I believe the information given in the post to be useful assuming any properties concerned are in England/Wales but I accept no liability for it.0
