Due to move into my new home in Walsingham 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 risks does the bank expect the insurance to cover?
Any lawyer on acting for lenders 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 obligations are not specific to conveyancing in Walsingham.
We are purchasing a house and the lawyer has identified Chancel Repair for which the house may be liable given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. He has mentioned insurance. Is this really warranted for conveyancing in Walsingham
Unless a previous purchase of the premises completed after 12 October 2013 you could take it that solicitors delivering conveyancing in Walsingham to continue to suggest a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
How does conveyancing in Walsingham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Walsingham contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Walsingham tend to 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 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 Walsingham or who has acted in the same development.

We're novice buyers - agreed a price, but the agent has warned us that the owners will only go ahead if we use the agent's preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Walsingham
It is improbable the owners are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Walsingham conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures set by senior management.
