Can you help - my lawyer advises that breach of easement insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Barnt Green conveyancing?

After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Barnt Green. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £150. A few days later, the conveyancer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Lloyds 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 Lloyds 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.

HSBC will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually HSBC will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Barnt Green postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Barnt Green.
