Can you help - my lawyer advises that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Bartley Green?

We previously selected conveyancing lawyers locally in Bartley Green on the Virgin Money solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me an additional amount for handling the Virgin Money mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Virgin Money?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Virgin Money but by your Bartley Green lawyer. Numerous firms on the Virgin Money panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I am buying a property in Bartley Green. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Nationwide be concerned?
Given that your lender is Nationwide your lawyer must check the formal requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nationwide.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we use the agent's preferred lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Bartley Green
It is unlikely the owners are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Bartley Green conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.
Much to my surprise my property lawyer in Bartley Green has requested from me personal identification documents asserting that this is part of his requirements as a conveyancer on the bank Conveyancing panel. Is this right?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require Bartley Green conveyancing solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Client Care letter that you need to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lawyer is right that the lender also require certain documents to be viewed. If a you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to accept instructions from you. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the bank's UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements
