Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bures

I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must be out of my let out property in Bures by 16/6/2025. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. How realistic is it to complete in six weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?

The normal practice is not to provide notice on a rental until your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not already done so, notify to your conveyancer and urge them to they seek the assistance the other side, try to a target completion date that all parties will look to achieve

My conveyancer has informed me that lack of planning permission insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Bures?

The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, UBS are being problematic. The Bures solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but UBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS 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.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Bures property lawyer having checked that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Co-operative will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Co-operative will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Bures postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Bures.
