Due to complete my purchase in Wanborough next Thursday. My conveyancer now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the mortgage company. What does the insurance need 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 requirements. These requirements are not unique to conveyancing in Wanborough.
We were going to get a AIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any Wanborough solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Wanborough solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.
I'm in the throws of viewing houses in Wanborough and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with RBS.
It would be sensible to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are getting a mortgage with RBS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Wanborough. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
I'm refinancing my current property to a BTL mortgage with Barclays Direct and intend to use the remaining equity as a deposit on further house. The location we are interested in is Wanborough. Will your lawyers be able to act for both sets of mortgage companies and link together the two deals?
Make use of our comparison tool on this site to check that the conveyancers are on the appropriate lender panels. Having checked that they are your conveyancer will be able to connect the two deals but you should talk with you solicitor and make apparent your desired outcome and requirements.

I am buying a garden maisonette in Wanborough. Conveyancing solicitor has been waiting for, from the owner, building insurance paperwork. Earlier today I was informed that the seller needs to send the insurance paperwork for the flat above as well. Why does my lawyer want to check the insurance for the other flat? Is it strictly required? We have been stalled for the previous month…
It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Wanborough to find Conveyancing in Wanborough in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats as opposed to the landlord insuring the entire building - which is clearly better. You should clarify with your property lawyer but it would seem that your conveyancing practitioner is attempting to verify that the entire building is insured. Insuring a ground floor apartment is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be rebuilt due to lack of insurance cover.
