All was ready to move into my new home in Montacute next Friday. 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?

We are aiming to move property in July. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Montacute. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from the estate agent however this should only happen once the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. You will need to advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Montacute or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Montacute.
I am the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Montacute. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in March. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation is chiefly there to identify subsales or the flipping of property.
I'm at the point of viewing flats in Montacute and I am about to put in an offer. Is it advisable to have my conveyancing practitioner on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a home loan with Bank of Ireland.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA. As you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I have been recommended by a couple of local selling agents in Montacute to select a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your site over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t give any commission for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
