I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Nottingham are being a right pain. The Redfield solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Nottingham are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham 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.

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Redfield will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Redfield.

How does conveyancing in Redfield differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Redfield contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in Redfield usually buy 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 conveyancers 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 Redfield or who has acted in the same development.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Redfield in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements from Halifax. If you call us we can check with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Redfield. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Redfield especially if they are acquainted with such properties in Redfield.

    Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the premises Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall

You may have a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Accord Mortgages Ltd, Barnsley Building Society, and Nottingham Building Society all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease.

    It is important to be aware if window replacement or some other major work is anticipated that will be shared amongst the leasehold owners and will materially impact the level of the maintenance charges or require a specific payment. The prefered form of lease structure is if the freehold reversion is owned by the leaseholders. In this scenario the tenants benefit from being in charge if their destiny and even though a managing agent is usually employed if it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent employed by the leaseholders. This question is important as a) areas can cause problems in the building as the common areas may begin to deteriorate if maintenance are not paid for b) if the leaseholders have an issue with the managing agents you will need to have complete disclosure
