I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, TSB are being a right pain. The Croesyceiliog solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but TSB are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB 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.
Intending to buy a flat in Croesyceiliog.

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 Croesyceiliog property lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Croesyceiliog I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Croesyceiliog for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Croesyceiliog. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as normal given that all ground rent and maintenance payments should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
