I have been advised by my conveyancer that restrictive coveneant insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Mexborough and Swinton conveyancing?

The appropriate level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

We previously selected conveyancers located in Mexborough and Swinton on the Barclays solicitor panel. They have just billed me a separate amount for handling the Barclays mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Barclays?

Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Barclays but by your Mexborough and Swinton solicitor. Numerous firms on the Barclays panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

I currently have a mortgage with Bank of Ireland for my property in Mexborough and Swinton. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Bank of Ireland?

You must advise Bank of Ireland prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Bank of Ireland’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Bank of Ireland will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Bank of Ireland directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel solicitor.

I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need chancel insurance when acquiring a residence in Mexborough and Swinton? or I am told that there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that house owners residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards repairs to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this appropriate for conveyancing in Mexborough and Swinton?

Unless a previous acquisition of the house completed post 12 October 2013 you could take it that conveyancing practitioners carrying out conveyancing in Mexborough and Swinton to continue to propose a a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

I am buying a new build house in Mexborough and Swinton with a loan from Bank of Ireland. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent told me not inform my solicitor about this deal as it would affect my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the selling agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we use their chosen lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Mexborough and Swinton

It is improbable the vendors are behind this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Mexborough and Swinton conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by HQ.
