I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, HSBC are being a right pain. The Burnopfield solicitor who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but HSBC are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do HSBC have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that HSBC have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why HSBC may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
RBS have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a flat in Burnopfield has been agreed to, now what?
Your property agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (make sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s approved list). Contact RBS or the financial adviser and complete any appropriate documentation. RBS will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to schedule an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week to get a mortgage offer. RBS will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Burnopfield.
Our sealed bid on a property in Burnopfield has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on somewhere, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Burnopfield. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Aldermore going?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Burnopfield conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Concerning the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many buyers would apply for a home loan with Aldermore and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their lawyer to move forward with searches.

How does conveyancing in Burnopfield differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Burnopfield come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because new home sellers in Burnopfield usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Burnopfield or who has acted in the same development.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the property agent advised that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct their preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Burnopfield
It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Burnopfield conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will earn their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
