We are about to complete on the purchase of a house in Eccles but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate recompense from the current proprietors of £2k by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but Co-operative will not agree to this. Why were they approached?
The conveyancer being on a Co-operative conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to Co-operative of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your solicitor to disclose the price change to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Eccles.
Is it the case that all Eccles solicitor practices on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Kent Reliance approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Some banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be regulated by the CLC.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Eccles. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £150. A couple of days later, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Principality are being pedantic. The Eccles solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality 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.
Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are a common reason for delay in Eccles house deals. Is this right?
