I am hoping to move into my new home in Lee On The Solent next Tuesday. 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 bank. What does the insurance need 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 conditions. These requirements are not unique to conveyancing in Lee On The Solent.

I pay a maintenance fee for my first floor flat in Lee On The Solent. Due to losing my job and personal issues I slipped into arrears with payments. I negotiated a clearance schedule but there remains three thousand pounds left in arrears.

I now wish to sell and I am worried this could hold me back if I have to settle the arrears first. I'd like to sell up and then pay them back with the completion monies - is this practicable?

Your conveyancing practitioner will hopefully be able to negotiate with the appropriate parties, and agree with them whether or not they would accept payment out of the completion monies. Here is indicative of why it is advisable to select a conveyancing practitioner in Lee On The Solent as they may well have an established relationship with the parties.
