Due to move into my new home in Monmouth next Tuesday. 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 bank. What does the insurance need to cover?

When it comes to conveyancing in Monmouth seeking recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor handling your conveyancing.
I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Monmouth building society branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Monmouth conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the solicitor is on the mortgage company approved list, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
