Completed the sale of my flat in Hook last June but my buyer keeps SMS messaging me to say his solicitor is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What should have happened following completion?
Following your house sale your solicitor is duty bound to forward the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. If applicable, your lawyer should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the buyers solicitors.

Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Hook. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?
Now that you are legally bound yourself to purchase you must choose a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of priority as you will have a tight deadline in which to complete the transaction. Every auction property should have an associated legal pack. This should include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold property the auction pack may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork relating to a leasehold property. You must pass this on to the conveyancer working for you at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that your finances are in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Co-operative are being problematic. The Hook solicitor who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Co-operative are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Co-operative have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Co-operative have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Co-operative 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.

Historically registration occurs after the buyer is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not always top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
