All was ready to move into my new home in Tonbridge next Tuesday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the bank. 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 Part 2 requirements. These requirements are not limited to conveyancing in Tonbridge.
We just had an offer accepted to buy with Earl Shilton BS. I went into a few local companies but am struggling to find a Tonbridge conveyancing firm on the Earl Shilton BS panel. Could you assist?

I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require this when buying a house in Tonbridge? or I am told that there is an ancient law that means some house owners residing in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards maintenance towards the chancel within the church. Is this a legitimate concern for conveyancing in Tonbridge?
Unless a prior acquisition of the property took place post 12 October 2013 you can expect lawyers conducting conveyancing in Tonbridge to continue to advocate a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
How does conveyancing in Tonbridge differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Tonbridge come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Tonbridge usually 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Tonbridge or who has acted in the same development.
