Having sold my house in Preston Park last July but my buyer keeps whats apping me to moan that his conveyancer is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?
Following your house sale your solicitor should send the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Nationwide are being a right pain. The Preston Park solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Nationwide are requiring 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.

How does conveyancing in Preston Park differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Preston Park contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Preston Park tend to acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Preston Park or who has acted in the same development.
We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent told us that the owners will only move forward if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Preston Park
We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Preston Park conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will earn their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by senior management.
My partner and I have an offer in principle from Halifax who have advised that they will lend up to £400k. At what point do we need to appoint a practitioner for conveyancing? Preston Park is where we are buying.
You can appoint a solicitor now requesting that they open a file on your behalf. This will trigger: 1) the estate agent to issue a Sales Memorandum to the relevant parties 2) the seller’s conveyancing practitioner to submit the draft paperwork. That being said, do not instruct your lawyer to order searches until you receive your valuation report from Halifax and you are willing to proceed.
