I have been advised by my lawyer that restrictive coveneant insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge?

The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

My partner and I are in the process of looking at flats in Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge and I am about to put in an offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a home loan with Santander.

You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent.

I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge on 11/6/2026, valuation was booked 3 days later, all came back fine. Conveyancer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Co-operative and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Are Co-operative entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
