I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Santander are being a right pain. The Romiley solicitor who is on the Santander conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Santander are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Santander have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

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

Intending to buy a house in Romiley. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Romiley conveyancer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.

Given that I am about to part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on 3 bedroom house in Romiley I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor concerning theconveyancing prior to instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?

We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the conveyancer who will be doing your conveyancing in Romiley.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a matter number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are quoted for your conveyancing in Romiley should be the figure that you end up paying.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Romiley. Before diving in I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Romiley - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I purchased a split level flat in Romiley, conveyancing was carried out August 2006. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Romiley with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 2088

With just 62 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £17,100 and £19,800 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.

We recently become aware that one of the directors of the law firm handling the purchase conveyancing in Romiley is an aunty of the seller. Is this permitted?

On the basis that there is no conflict of interest this should be fine. If you are needing a mortgage then the mortgage company may have a say as many lenders have specific requirements concerning this. For example for Bradford & Bingley as of 31/3/2026, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

Your firm may only act if a separate fee earner or partner within the firm acts for us.
