Please help - my lawyer advises that chancel insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Ferryhill?
The appropriate level of chancel indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Barclays and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
Lloyds have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a apartment in Ferryhill has been accepted, now what?
The property agent will need to be informed of your lawyer's details (make sure the lawyers are on the lender’s panel). Telephone Lloyds or your broker and finalise any outstanding forms. Lloyds will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or vendor to arrange an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Lloyds will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Ferryhill.
My partner and I are selling our property in Ferryhill and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Ferryhill conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Ferryhill. Having lived in Ferryhill for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with 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 illness)
