Hello -
We are due to exchange on a wreck house next week and complete a few days later. I know we need building insurance from completion (for the mortgage). Reading the small print of the deal I've been quoted, it specifies that the house should have various locks (eg key locks on the downstairs windows) which I'm pretty sure the house doesn't have. Should I ask the seller if I can get those fitted before completion or is this something my solicitor should negotiate with the seller? Because there are going to be builders in the house for six months we're having to get empty buildings insurance, which seems to be tricky to get anyway. Should we, in fact, be getting some sort of interim simple building insurance policy for between exchange and completion? Thanks so much for any ideas
