I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Nationwide are being a right pain. The Osterley solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Nationwide are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide 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.
Will our solicitor be making enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Osterley.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Osterley. Some people will acquire a property in Osterley, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Osterley. The standard completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard question of the owner to determine whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser may issue a legal claim for losses stemming from an misleading answer. The purchaser’s lawyers should also carry out an environmental report. This will higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be conducted.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Osterley is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Osterley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Osterley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Osterley may determine 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 premises.
