Due to complete my purchase in Thorpe Astley next Thursday. My conveyancer 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 does the insurance need to cover?
All property lawyers 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 UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook instructions. These requirements are not unique to conveyancing in Thorpe Astley.
It is is a decade since I bought my home in Thorpe Astley. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I can't find my deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Thorpe Astley relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

This question may be naive but I am new to the house moving as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Thorpe Astley. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Thorpe Astley?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Thorpe Astley conveyancing lawyers were appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Clydesdale?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Clydesdale completed the survey? Have you advised Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the property agent told us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Thorpe Astley
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Thorpe Astley conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
