to deal with the Land Registry formalities. The only thing you need to
consider is that by selling at an undervalue so ask your lawyer about
the implications. There could be an inheritance tax issue if you die
within 7 years of this. As the property is your main residence you need
not pay CGT but you should speak with your accountants in any event.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in month 6 but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Together Personal Finance are being a right pain. The solicitor who is on the Together Personal Finance conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Together Personal Finance are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Together Personal Finance have a conveyancing panel of they don’t accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Together Personal Finance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Together Personal Finance may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing correctly and safely installed. It merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
