Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Bembridge. My lender is The Mortgage Works
The Mortgage Works have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 14/8/2025, the requirements read as follows :
Me and my partner are purchasing a apartment in Bembridge. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we have to put money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

There are two types of lawyers who can perform conveyancing in Bembridge namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors. The two can handle the legal services that you need to complete the sale or purchase of property. They are both required to conduct Bembridge conveyancing to the same standards and guidelines so you may be sure that your conveyancing will be professionally administered and that all necessary procedures should be suitably attended to.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Santander are being problematic. The Bembridge solicitor who is on the Santander conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Santander are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Santander have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Santander have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Santander may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
We are selling our house in Bembridge and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bembridge. We have lived in Bembridge for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
Given that I am about to part with over three hundred thousand on a two bedroom apartment in Bembridge I wish to talk to a conveyancer concerning thetransaction prior to instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?
Absolutely - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the solicitor due to be conducting your property ownership legalities in Bembridge.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important individual, not a matter number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are provided with for your conveyancing in Bembridge should be the figure that you end up paying.
My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Bembridge
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Bembridge conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets set by senior management.
