Due to complete my purchase in Ascot next Friday. 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?

Your options are as follows:

I'm converting the mortgage on my primary home to a BTL mortgage with Lloyds TSB Bank and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a deposit on another property. The area we are looking at is Ascot. Will your solicitors be able to act for both sets of banks and tie in the transactions?

Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in Ascot?

Conveyancing - in Ascot or anywhere in England and Wales - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re buying and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for reducing the price down or asking the seller to fix the defects prior to you complete your move.
