Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Hook. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Lloyds are being difficult. The Hook solicitor who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine 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.

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Hook accepted, the sellers do however have a connected purchase. The vendors have offered on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Hook. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Nationwide started?

It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Hook conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Nationwide approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Nationwide and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to press on with searches.

My wife and I may need to sub-let our Hook basement flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Hook conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

The lease governs the relationship between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will set out if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Hook do not prevent an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would undoubtedly devalue the property. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the sublease.

After years of negotiations we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Hook. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
