I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, RBS are being problematic. The Chalk Farm solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but RBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS 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.
At last I have had an offer on a flat in Chalk Farm agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Chalk Farm. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Aldermore?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Chalk Farm conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with Aldermore and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to move forward with searches.
