Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Kingswood

Due to move into my new home in Kingswood next Monday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the lender. What risks does the mortgage company expect the insurance to cover?

Any lawyer on acting for mortgage companies 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 Part 2 conditions. These requirements are not specific to conveyancing in Kingswood.

I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel lawyer as I would much rather use a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Kingswood?

Do check but the chances are that give you one of their panel solicitors should you want the "fee-free" offer. Contact the mortgage company to explore if they make available a cash alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Kingswood.

I'm the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Kingswood. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in January. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a practical view as this clause chiefly exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.

Is it the case that all Kingswood solicitor practices on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. The majority of lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be governed by the CLC.
