All was ready to complete my purchase in Oldbury next Thursday. My conveyancer now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the bank. What risks does the lender expect the insurance to cover?

There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook instructions. These obligations are not unique to conveyancing in Oldbury.
We are due to move house in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Oldbury. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from the selling agent however this can only occur after the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you can inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Oldbury or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Oldbury.
I am buying a terrace house in Oldbury. Our aim is to convert the garage to a playroom at the property.Will legal conveyancing on the property involve checks to ascertain if these works are prohibited?
Your conveyancer will review the registered title as conveyancing in Oldbury will occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of changes or need the consent of another owner. Many additions need local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
The mortgage over my property is with Barclays for my property in Oldbury. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Barclays?
Barclays must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Barclays directly. You need not do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor.
