Due to complete my purchase in Romsley next Thursday. My conveyancing practitioner now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the mortgage company. What risks does the bank expect the insurance 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 requirements are not unique to conveyancing in Romsley.
We expect to receive a AIP from Lloyds this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any Romsley solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Romsley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Romsley. I have a mortgage agreed with Clydesdale. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Clydesdale, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
At last I have had an offer on a flat in Romsley agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Romsley. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Romsley conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many buyers would apply for a home loan with Virgin Money and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancer to proceed with searches.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the estate agent advised that the seller will only go ahead if we use their chosen lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Romsley
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they understand (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Romsley conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
