is it true that all East Sheen solicitor practices on the Aldermore conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Skipton are being problematic. The East Sheen solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance 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.
I have finally had an offer on an apartment in East Sheen accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in East Sheen. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with RBS going?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, East Sheen conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some home buyers would apply for the mortgage with RBS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to move forward with the conveyancing in East Sheen.
