My wife and I are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Flitwick but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the seller of three thousand pounds in the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract yet TSB will not permit this. Why were they notified?
The lawyer being on the TSB approved list is required to inform TSB of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to disclose the price change to TSB then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, TSB and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Flitwick.
Completed the sale of my flat in Flitwick last February yet the purchaser is calling daily complaining that their conveyancer needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done following completion?
Following your disposal your solicitor is duty bound to deliver the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Where relevant, your lawyer must also evidence that the mortgage has been redeemed to the purchasers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities specific conveyancing in Flitwick.

Please help - my lawyer advises that lack of building regulations insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Flitwick conveyancing?

It is true that some banks and building societies now make use of the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of firms.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Virgin Money are being difficult. The Flitwick solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Virgin Money are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Virgin Money have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Virgin Money have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Virgin Money 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 deeds to our home can not be found. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Flitwick 10 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should be aware precisely where to look for all the suitable documentation so you can purchase or sell your house without any difficulty. If copies can’t be located, your solicitor may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the property.
