Completed the sale of my flat in Loddon last February but our buyer keeps Skype messaging every few hours complaining that his solicitor needs to hear from mylawyer. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Post completion of your disposal your lawyer should send the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your conveyancer should also send confirmation that the home loan has been discharged to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion steps specific conveyancing in Loddon.
Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Loddon. My lender is Platform
Platform have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 21/9/2026, the requirements read as follows :
My partner and I have arranged the release of further monies on our mortgage from Virgin Money as we intend to carry out alterations to our home in Loddon. Do we need to choose a bricks and mortar Loddon solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Virgin Money don't usually instruct a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Loddon. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Santander be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Santander your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Santander. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Santander where a lease fails to comply with these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Loddon.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Coventry BS are being a right pain. The Loddon solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Coventry BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry 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.
