I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Woore. My lender is Bank of Ireland
Bank of Ireland have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 7/12/2025, the requirements read as follows :
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Coventry BS, do Woore conveyancers incur a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any bank fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
The mortgage over my property is with Kent Reliance for my property in Woore. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months 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 Kent Reliance?
You must advise Kent Reliance before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Kent Reliance’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Kent Reliance conveyancing panel solicitor.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Woore. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £150. Not long after, the conveyancer called me to say that they were not on the Skipton 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 Skipton 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.
My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Woore and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Woore conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Woore. We have lived in Woore for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
