My conveyancer has informed me that restrictive coveneant insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Shropshire conveyancing?
The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
My wife and I have arranged the release of further monies on our home loan from Barclays as we want to conduct a loft conversion to our house in Shropshire. Are we obliged to appoint a bricks and mortar Shropshire solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with UBS. Shropshire conveyancing lawyers are chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from UBS?

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
