We decided to go with a Long Itchington based lawyer for our conveyancing in Long Itchington last week. Going through the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am liable for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to choose an internet conveyancing brokerage advertising no completion no charge conveyancing in Long Itchington?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to counteract those cases that do not proceed. Also remember that these promotions generally do not protect you from disbursements for example Long Itchington conveyancing search costs.
Due to move into my new home in Long Itchington 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 mortgage company. What risks does the lender expect the insurance 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 obligations are not unique to conveyancing in Long Itchington.
I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would much rather instruct a Long Itchington based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel conveyancers should you accept the "fee-free" offer. Call the mortgage company to ask if they allow a monetary alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Long Itchington.

I am helping my aunt sell her property in Long Itchington. Will the conveyancer arrange an EPC or do I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates became a mandatory component of moving house. An EPC needs to be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. This is not as aspect of the sale process that law firms ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Long Itchington conveyancing solicitor they may help arrange EPC’s given their contacts with reputable Long Itchington energy assessors
I have been told by my conveyancer that breach of easement insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Long Itchington?
The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Long Itchington concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
