We expect to receive a DIP from Coventry BS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Uttoxeter you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
Am I right to be wary about brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an internet conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Uttoxeter conveyancing company?
As is the case with many service providers, often recommendations from connections can be most helpful. Nevertheless there are lots of players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all suggest lawyers to select. On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the right to select your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that most banks operate an approved list of solicitors you have to use for the lender related work in your transaction.

My lawyer in Uttoxeter is asking me for ID documents asserting that this is part of his obligations as a conveyancer on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. Am I being spun a yarn?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the mortgage company. This is not unique to conveyancing in Uttoxeter
