All was ready to complete my purchase in Llandaff North next Monday. My lawyer now wants me to supply her with evidence of content and building insurance for the property 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?
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 obligations are not limited to conveyancing in Llandaff North.
I am looking to buy a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Llandaff North who is on the Yorkshire Building Society conveyancing. Can you recommend a local firm?

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Llandaff North and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Llandaff North. We have lived in Llandaff North for six years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)
