All was ready to complete my purchase in Buxton next Thursday. 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 mortgage company. What does the insurance need 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 UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook instructions. These obligations are not specific to conveyancing in Buxton.

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Buxton? Why is this being asked of me?

It is indeed that case that the requirement set out by your solicitor has nothing to do with conveyancing in Buxton. However these days you can not proceed with any conveyancing process in the absence supplying proof of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence as well as a bank statement. Remember if you are supplying your driving licence as evidence of identification it must be both the paper section and photo card part, one is not acceptable in the absence of the other.

Evidence of your source of funds is required under Money Laundering Regulations. Please do not be offended when when this is requested of you as your lawyer must retain this information on record. Your Buxton conveyancing practitioner will need to see evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any monies from you into their client account and they should also ask additional queries concerning the origin of monies.

We were going to get a OIP from TSB this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Buxton solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Buxton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.

Intending to buy a maisonette in Buxton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Buxton conveyancing practitioner is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Buxton accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Buxton. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with HSBC?

It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Buxton conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the HSBC approved list. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of buyers will apply for a home loan with HSBC and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Buxton.

I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for hinderance in Buxton house deals. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Buxton.

I am using a search engine for the term cheap conveyancing in Buxton it shows results of numerous conveyancerslocally. With so much choice what is the best way to find the suitable solicitor for me?

The ideal method of seeking the right conveyancer is through a trusted recommendation, so ask friends and relatives who have bought a property in Buxton or a reputable estate agent or financial adviser. Fees for conveyancing in Buxton vary, so it's a good idea to request a minimum of four estimates from varying types of property lawyers. Dont forget to clarify that the fees are fixed.
