I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, UBS are being a right pain. The Neath Abbey solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but UBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS 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.
I'm buying a new build house in Neath Abbey with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my conveyancer about this side-deal as it will put at risk my loan with Leeds Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Neath Abbey is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Neath Abbey are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Neath Abbey you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Neath Abbey may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Do I need to be wary that estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Neath Abbey conveyancing company?
As with lots of professional services, often recommendations from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are lots of people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all put forward solicitors to retain. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there might be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to appoint your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that most lenders operate an approved list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your conveyancing.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Neath Abbey. Conveyancing and HSBC Bank mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Neath Abbey who acted for me is not around. Any advice?

It is not necessary to instruct a Neath Abbey conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
