I am hoping to move into my new home in Mexborough and Swinton next Thursday. My conveyancer now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the lender. What does the insurance need to cover?

Any lawyer on acting for lenders 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 UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook instructions.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Mexborough and Swinton before appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may refuse to issue a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different instructions for example to Nationwide. If you call us we can check with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Mexborough and Swinton. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Mexborough and Swinton to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

I have been advised by a number of selling agents in Mexborough and Swinton to find a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your site over a competitor’s?

We refuse to make any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct the agent's recommended solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Mexborough and Swinton

We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Mexborough and Swinton conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by corporate headquarters.

I am considering choosing an online conveyancing practitioner ahead of a Mexborough and Swinton conveyancing practice. Should I ‘stay local’?

There are advantages of being able to visit a local Mexborough and Swinton conveyancing solicitor for example

  • signing papers same day
  • having face-to-face explanations of issues you don't understand
  • the ability to raise concerns if matters need to addressed

When checking estimates, look out for hidden extras. Most decent Mexborough and Swinton high street solicitors give an all-inclusive price. Many online agents seem to offer cheap prices, but have burried 'extras' in the fine print.
