All was ready to complete my purchase in Finningley next Friday. 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 risks does the bank expect the insurance to cover?

At what point will exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Finningley and am I required to attend the lawyers office?
If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Finningley you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide a nationwide conveyancing service and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the property agreement is not the critical part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to address the formalities at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Finningley)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

We were going to get a DIP from Principality this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Finningley solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Finningley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Finningley. My financial adviser suggested a solicitor. I paid an on account payment of £200. A few days later, the solicitor called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Virgin Money panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Finningley is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Finningley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Finningley 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.
I today plan to offer on a house that appears to be perfect, at a reasonable figure which is making it more attractive.
