Completed the sale of my flat in Beddington South last June yet the purchaser is whats apping daily to say his solicitor needs to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Santander are being difficult. The Beddington South solicitor who is on the Santander conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Santander are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Santander have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Santander have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Santander 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 was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by TSB. Is it usual for TSB to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Beddington South is approved on their conveyancing panel? TSB have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Should my solicitor be making enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Beddington South.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Beddington South. Plenty of people will buy a property in Beddington South, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their solicitors which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Beddington South. The conventional set of information sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual question of the seller to determine whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser could commence a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect answer. The buyer’s conveyancers should also commission an environmental search. This will indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be conducted.
Just acquired a detached house in Beddington South , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Beddington South conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Beddington South is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration occurs once the buyer is living at the property so 'speed' is not always top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
