Having sold my house in Rainhill last March yet the purchaser is e-mailing me complaining that their conveyancer needs to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?

Where appropriate, your conveyancer must also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been discharged to the buyers solicitors. There are no post completion steps peculiar conveyancing in Rainhill.
We are purchasing a flat in Rainhill. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? On completion day we will need to send our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?

My solicitor has informed me that missing deeds insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Rainhill?

Having read lots of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Rainhill solicitor - who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society 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. You may wish to consider appointing your own Rainhill surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
