I have been told by my conveyancer that lack of building regulations insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Beddgelert?
The right level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
I am buying a property in Beddgelert. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Aldermore have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Aldermore your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Aldermore. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Aldermore where a lease fails to comply with these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Beddgelert.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Clydesdale. Is it usual for Clydesdale to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Beddgelert is approved on their conveyancing panel? Clydesdale have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
