I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in Pershore. My lender is Platform
Platform have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 16/11/2024, the requirements read as follows :
My partner and I are planning on selling our property in Pershore and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Pershore. Having lived in Pershore for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
How does conveyancing in Pershore differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Pershore come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Pershore tend to 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 conveyancers 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 Pershore or who has acted in the same development.

I have today placed an offer on a leasehold flat in Pershore and the broker that we are using recommended his solicitor. He quoted £1000 excluding VAT and disbursements. Does this sound steep?
