I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Anstey. My lender is Bank of Ireland
Bank of Ireland have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 13/9/2026, the requirements read as follows :
Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Anstey. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?
Having exchanged you now have to choose a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you are faced with a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the conveyancing. All auction property will have an associated legal set of papers. This will include most,if not all of the documents that your lawyer requires. In the case of leasehold premises the legal papers should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork relating to leasehold premises.

My offer was accepted on a property in Anstey on 4/8/2026, valuation was booked 2 days after, all came back fine. Solicitor instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to UBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel. Are UBS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for UBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the UBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Bank of Ireland have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a property in Anstey has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
The property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (make sure the solicitors are on the lender’s approved list). Telephone Bank of Ireland or your broker and complete any appropriate documentation. Bank of Ireland will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to arrange a slot for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days to get a mortgage offer. Bank of Ireland will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Anstey.
I have recentlybecome aware that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Anstey for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to see if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Anstey conveyancing specialists.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Anstey is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Anstey are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Anstey you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Anstey may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Living abroad I am unable to visit my Anstey conveyancing lawyers office to execute documents for conveyancing in Anstey – will this be problematic?
No. Anstey conveyancing lawyers can deal with conveyancing transactions for clients from a distance. You are unlikely to be required to attend a Anstey conveyancers office. They can deal with all communications remotely from their Anstey office.
