I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Skipton are being pedantic. The Ripley solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Skipton are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton 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.
Me and my brother have a semi-detached Edwardian house in Ripley. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Lloyds TSB Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Lloyds TSB Bank to clarify?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ripley and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
I am buying my first flat in Ripley benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it will impact my loan with National Westminster Bank. Should I keep quiet?.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Ripley with the aim of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Ripley can be bypassed if you appoint lawyers as soon as you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ lawyers. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should make sure that you are holding the original share certificate. Organising a duplicate share certificate is often a time consuming process and delays many a Ripley home move. If a new share is required, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (if applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but you should verify this via your conveyancers. A purchaser's conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the lease term is below 75 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Ripley leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such changes. If you dont have the approvals to hand do not communicate with the landlord without contacting your solicitor in advance.
