I am hoping to move into my new home in Ventnor next Tuesday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the mortgage company. What risks does the lender expect the insurance to cover?
All property lawyers on acting for banks 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 instructions. These requirements are not specific to conveyancing in Ventnor.
Are the Ventnor conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Barclays conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Barclays?
Ventnor conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Barclays directly.
My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Ventnor. I need to find out whether they are accepted on the TSB approved list of lawyers. Could you assist?

Expecting to exchange soon on a ground floor flat in Ventnor. Conveyancing solicitors assured me that they will have a report out to me within the next couple of days. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?
The report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Ventnor should include some of the following:
-
Alterations to the property Does the lease require carpeting throughout thus preventing wood flooring? Defining your legal entitlements in relation to the communal areas in the building.For example, does the lease grant a right of way over a path or hallways? Will you be prohibited or prevented from having pets in the property? Does the lease prevent you from renting out the property, or having a home office for business
I bought a 2 bed flat in Ventnor, conveyancing was carried out in 2011. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable flats in Ventnor with over 90 years remaining are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2090
With 64 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £15,200 and £17,600 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
Myself and my husband have just had an offer agreed on a apartment and had meeting on Monday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to selecting a conveyancing practitioner that if they are not on their approved panel of solicitors then we will be subject to an an extra charge of about two hundred pounds. This is because they would then have to select a property lawyer to act for them as well as the one we appoint for ourselves and we will be on the hook for their fees. I have requested Leeds Building Society to supply me with a list so I can seek quotes only from their approved lawyers but was told that I need to check with each individual solicitor to see if they are on the panel. Is there a list online?
You can enquire of Leeds Building Society what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Then ask the lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Leeds Building Society historically. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Leeds Building Society. Another option is to use our search tool and we should be able to find you a conveyancing practitioner in Ventnor on the panel for Leeds Building Society.
