We were about to retain a conveyancing solicitor in Marple listed using your search tool but stumbled across alternative estimates on the internet appear less expensive – why is this?

Some hide extras deep into the terms of engagement. The solicitors that we put forward for conveyancing in Marple neverbehave this way.
I am hoping to complete my purchase in Marple 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 mortgage company. 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 Marple.
My wife and I are buying a property in Marple. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On completion day we will need to deposit our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?

Is it correct that all Marple CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the TSB conveyancing panel?
A selection of lenders now use CQS as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
I have a mortgage with RBS for my property in Marple. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform RBS?
RBS must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of RBS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact RBS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a RBS conveyancing panel solicitor.
I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Marple in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to give a loan on this type of house.
It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different instructions from Halifax. If you call us we can investigate further via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Marple. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Marple to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
I purchased a flat in Marple last 19/10/2023 and to date it is still not recorded with HM Land Registry. It was part of a development site and my conveyancing practitioner told me that it can take one year to register. I have spoken with the Land Registry directly and they have informed me the initial application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. Do I need to be concerned?
