I am being told by my conveyancer that flying freehold insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Roath?
The appropriate level of flying freehold indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between HSBC Bank and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
is it true that all Roath conveyancing solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Some banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be regulated by the CLC.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Roath. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £175. Not long after, the solicitor contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Principality conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Principality panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
