I am hoping to complete my purchase in Empingham next Friday. My conveyancing practitioner now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the mortgage company. What risks does the bank expect the insurance to cover?
All property lawyers on acting for banks 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 instructions. These obligations are not specific to conveyancing in Empingham.
We see that you have a post code search directory listing solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I instruct them for our conveyancing in Empingham?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the RBS conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Empingham.
I am purchasing my first flat in Empingham with a loan from Halifax. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it will impact my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint the agent's preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Empingham
It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to use your preferred Empingham conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.
Me and my wife have agreed a price on a Empingham apartment we inherited six years ago in 2010. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing experience and, now retired, intend to carry out the conveyancing. The purchaser's conveyancing practitioner has informed me that their bank will not allow you to do your own conveyancing requiring the funds to be passed via a solicitor's bank account.
Lending instructions to conveyancers from all mainstream lenders state that If the vendor does not have legal representation the buyer’s lawyers should check whether the bank needs to be notified so that a decision can be made if they are willing to progress.
