We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our lawyer has advised that he must ensure that the bank is willing to move forward with this solution.

As a FTB what is the most important advice you can give me concerning purchase conveyancing in Yaxley?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Yaxley or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For example, the seller, selling agent and on occasion your lender. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Yaxley should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose responsibility is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest may try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do something that is against your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
