I am hoping to complete my purchase in Fratton and Portsea next Friday.

What risks does the bank expect the insurance to cover?

This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a garden flat in Fratton and Portsea. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Fratton and Portsea?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

Usually this occurs early afternoon.

How does conveyancing in Fratton and Portsea differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Fratton and Portsea contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Fratton and Portsea usually acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Fratton and Portsea or who has acted in the same development.
