All was ready to move into my new home in Norton next Friday. My property lawyer now wants me to supply her with evidence of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the lender. What does the insurance need to cover?

I am being told by my conveyancer that breach of easement insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Norton?

I currently have a mortgage with UBS for my property in Norton. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish 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 UBS?

You must advise UBS prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let 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 UBS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a UBS conveyancing panel solicitor.

I have instructed a Norton solicitor having checked that they are on the Santander conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Santander will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Santander will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Norton postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Santander, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Norton.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Norton registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies.

Registration occurs after the new owner is living at the premises so post completion formalities is not always an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I'm buying a new build house in Norton with a mortgage from Coventry Building Society. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my conveyancer about this deal as it will impact my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
