I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Common Edge. My lender is Bank of Ireland

Bank of Ireland have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 20/7/2025, the requirements read as follows :

I am due to move property in October. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Common Edge. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across this site.

On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from your property agent however this can only happen after the previous owners conveyancers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. Subsequently you should inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Common Edge or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Common Edge.

We were going to get a AIP from Yorkshire BS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Yorkshire BS recommend any Common Edge solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Common Edge solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Yorkshire BS through the process.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Common Edge. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £200. A few days later, the conveyancing practitioner called me embarrassingly acknowledging 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.

I am purchasing a new build house in Common Edge with a mortgage from Aldermore. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it will affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I have been pointed in your direction by a few selling agents in Common Edge to select a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers over and above a competitor’s?

We refuse to offer any commission for sending work our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
