All was ready to move into my new home in Chorley and Eccleston 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 bank. What risks does the lender expect the insurance to cover?
All property lawyers on acting for mortgage companies 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 requirements are not specific to conveyancing in Chorley and Eccleston.

I am assisting my mother sell her property in Chorley and Eccleston. Does the conveyancer order an energy performance certificate or do I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates became a compulsory part of selling a house. An energy performance certificate needs to be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. It is not something that law firms ordinarily organise. If you are using a Chorley and Eccleston conveyancing practitioner they might be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with long established local providers
I happen to be the single recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Chorley and Eccleston. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in April. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be affected by that. Most lenders would take a sensible view as this clause principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
Is it the case that all Chorley and Eccleston conveyancing solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Many banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the firms would be governed by the CLC.

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
