I am hoping to complete my purchase in Walkden next Thursday. 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 lender. What does the insurance need to cover?

We are buying a house in Walkden. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we have to put funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?

When it comes to lenders such as Santander, do Walkden conveyancers have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?

My wife and I have organised the release of further funds on our mortgage from Virgin Money as we intend to carry out a loft conversion to our home in Walkden. Do we need to choose a nearby Walkden solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Virgin Money would not normally appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Virgin Money panel.
Should I be concerned about brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a national conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Walkden conveyancing company?
As is the case with many service providers, often suggestions from relatives can be most helpful. Yet there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders may recommend solicitors to select. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there might be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to choose your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that most lenders specify a panel list of solicitors you must use for the mortgage related work in your conveyancing.
