I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Yorkshire BS are being a right pain. The Enfield Town solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Yorkshire BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS 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.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers dealing with homes in Enfield Town.

However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the premises.

Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Enfield Town. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual inquiry of the owner to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If the residence has been flooded in past and is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer may commence a compensation claim resulting from an inaccurate response. A purchaser’s solicitors may also carry out an enviro report. This will indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be initiated.

We don’t give any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
