My wife and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from Leeds Building Society as we wish to carry out improvements to our house in Batheaston. Do we need to appoint a local Batheaston solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Leeds Building Society would not normally require firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, RBS are being pedantic. The Batheaston solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but RBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS 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.

I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Batheaston I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Batheaston for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
