Please help - my lawyer advises that lack of right of way insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Ripley conveyancing?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
I am expecting a DIP from Lloyds this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any Ripley solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Ripley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.
