I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Leeds Building Society are being difficult. The Colwall solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Leeds Building Society are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

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

Planning on purchasing a flat in Colwall. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Colwall property lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

Should our solicitor be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Colwall.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Colwall. Some people will buy a property in Colwall, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that may be undertaken by the buyer or by their lawyers which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Colwall. The standard information sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual question of the vendor to discover if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer may commence a claim for damages resulting from an incorrect response. The purchaser’s lawyers should also commission an environmental report. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be initiated.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Colwall?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Colwall. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Colwall is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Colwall are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Colwall you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Colwall may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
