There are many recorded licenced Conveyancers in Bures and Solicitor firms in Bures who can assist with your conveyancing We would stress that both are supervised by regulatory bodies with both specialising in the legal aspects of the home buying process.

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Bures. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office.

However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Nottingham are being a right pain. The Bures solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Nottingham are requiring 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.

I understand that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bures

    Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Bures in advance of instructing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some banks will not issue a loan on such a property.

I work for a long established estate agent office in Bures where we have experienced a few flat sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Bures conveyancing solicitors. Could you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.

Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
