I am hoping to move into my new home in Neston next Tuesday. 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 mortgage companies 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 Part 2 conditions. These obligations are not limited to conveyancing in Neston.

We previously chose conveyancing lawyers locally in Neston on the Barclays solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental charge for the legal aspects of the Barclays mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Barclays?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Barclays but by your Neston conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Barclays panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. Neston conveyancing lawyers were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Bank of Ireland?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Bank of Ireland conducted the valuation? Have you advised Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
How does conveyancing in Neston differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Neston contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because builders in Neston typically acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Neston or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Neston is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Neston are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Neston you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Neston may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
