I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Nottingham are being difficult. The Bude solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Nottingham are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham 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 house in Bude has been accepted, the owners do however have a dependent purchase. The vendors have put an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Bude. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Skipton?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Bude conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancer is on the Skipton approved list. As to the subsequent phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Skipton and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Bude.
