I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Leeds Building Society are being problematic. The Emerson Park solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Leeds Building Society are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society 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.
Our sealed bid on a detached house in Emerson Park has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Emerson Park. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Emerson Park conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of purchasers would apply for a home loan with Virgin Money and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Emerson Park.
Will my conveyancer be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Emerson Park.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Emerson Park. There are those who buy a house in Emerson Park, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the buyer or by their solicitors which should figure out the risks in Emerson Park. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual inquiry of the owner to find out if the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer may commence a claim for damages resulting from an incorrect answer. The buyer’s solicitors will also conduct an enviro search. This should higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be carried out.
Am I better off to appoint a Emerson Park conveyancing solicitor based in the location that I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can handle the legal formalities but her office is 200miles drive away.
The primary upside of using a high street Emerson Park conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, deliver your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and the majority were happy that should trump using an unfamiliar Emerson Park conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.
