Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Castleton and Blacktown

It has come to my attention via my IFA that my Castleton and Blacktown property lawyer is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure if this is correct?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Castleton and Blacktown. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Kent Reliance be concerned?

Given that your lender is Kent Reliance your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease does not meet these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Castleton and Blacktown.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Skipton are being difficult. The Castleton and Blacktown solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Skipton are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

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

How does conveyancing in Castleton and Blacktown differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Castleton and Blacktown come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Castleton and Blacktown typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Castleton and Blacktown or who has acted in the same development.
