My mortgage broker has asked me for my Bilborough law firm’s panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have tried my local Bilborough branch but they have not responded to me.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Bilborough property lawyer . Most Bilborough conveyancing firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
Due to move into my new home in Bilborough next Friday. My property lawyer now wants me to supply her with evidence of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the bank. What does the insurance need 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 UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. These requirements are not specific to conveyancing in Bilborough.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Bilborough and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Bilborough. We have lived in Bilborough for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor 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)
