My lawyer has informed me that lack of planning permission insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Moor Row conveyancing?
The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Barclays and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Clydesdale are being a right pain. The Moor Row solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Clydesdale are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale 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.
