Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Potton and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the house moving process. E.g., the vendor, estate agent and on occasion a lender. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Potton should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the process whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.
On occasion a potential adversary will try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is slow. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, RBS are being pedantic. The Potton solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but RBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS 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.
