We previously instructed solicitors locally in Gunnislake on the Principality solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental charge for handling the Principality mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Principality?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Principality but by your Gunnislake conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Principality panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Lloyds are being a right pain. The Gunnislake solicitor who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Lloyds are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Lloyds have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Lloyds have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Lloyds 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.

How does conveyancing in Gunnislake differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Gunnislake come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Gunnislake usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Gunnislake or who has acted in the same development.
