Due to complete my purchase in Weybridge next Monday. My property lawyer now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the lender. What risks does the lender expect the insurance to cover?
Any lawyer 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 instructions. These obligations are not limited to conveyancing in Weybridge.
I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Weybridge. I I am struggling to find out whether they are on the TSB approved list of lawyers. Can you assist?

I am helping my aunt sell her house in Weybridge. Will the solicitor commission an EPC or should I organise this?
Following the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was kept a required component of selling a property. An EPC should be to hand prior to the property being marketed. This is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors ordinarily arrange. Where you are instructing a Weybridge conveyancing practitioner they may help arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with reputable local energy assessors
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Nottingham are being difficult. The Weybridge solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Nottingham are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
At last I have had an offer on a flat in Weybridge accepted, the vendors do however have a tied purchase. The vendors have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Weybridge. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with TSB?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Weybridge conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the TSB conveyancing panel. Regarding the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many purchasers will apply for a home loan with TSB and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to move forward with the conveyancing in Weybridge.
How does conveyancing in Weybridge differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Weybridge contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in Weybridge typically purchase the land, 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 conveyancers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Weybridge or who has acted in the same development.
