Due to move into my new home in Harton next Monday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the lender. What does the insurance need to cover?
All property lawyers 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 instructions. These requirements are not specific to conveyancing in Harton.
Will lawyers request an advanced payment when it comes to conveyancing in Harton?
If you are buying a property in Harton your solicitor will ask you to provide them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Normally this is needed to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. When the down payment is payable against the purchase price then this will be needed immediately in advance of exchange of contracts. The final balance that is needed should be transferred shortly before completion.
I am thinking of mortgaging my home in Harton, does my lawyer need to be on the UBS Conveyancing panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the UBS conveyancing panel, but UBS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
Are there any apps to help locate a Harton solicitor on the Chelsea Building Society conveyancing panel? I drive a motor bike and am prepared to travel upto 20kilometers to meet the conveyancer.
