I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to leave my rented property in Dunholme by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Can I complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?
It is unwise to serve notice for your lease until you have exchanged. If you have not already done so, contact to your lawyer and request that they cajole the sellers solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will look to achieve
A relative pointed out to me me that in buying a property in Dunholme there may be various restrictions limiting what one can do in terms of external alterations to the property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Dunholme which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Dunholme should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Barclays are being problematic. The Dunholme solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Barclays are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Barclays have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Barclays 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 was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nationwide. Is it usual for Nationwide to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Dunholme is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nationwide have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I am selling our house in Dunholme and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Dunholme lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Dunholme. We have lived in Dunholme for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
My husband and I are one month into a leasehold purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the high street agent to execute conveyancing in Dunholme. I am am starting to be frustrated with the level of service. Could you you assist me in finding new solicitors?
They would need to be really poor to suggest changing them. Has your mortgage offer been sent? If so you will need to advise them of the replacement lawyer and have the mortgage documents are re-sent. Your conveyancer needs to be on the banks approved list to avoid supplemental expenses and complications. That should be your starting point.
