I have been advised by my conveyancer that lack of building regulations insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Rumney?
The right level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Barclays and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
My fiancee and I are at the point of looking at apartments in Rumney and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it wise to have a solicitor on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS.
It would be wise to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the estate agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Clydesdale are being pedantic. The Rumney solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Clydesdale are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale 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.
My partner and I are intent on selling our home in Rumney and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Rumney lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Rumney. We have lived in Rumney for three years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I am buying my first flat in Rumney benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my lawyer about the deal as it may adversely affect my loan with The Mortgage Works. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business premises in Rumney and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to provides security of tenure to business tenants, granting the a statutory right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

In the event that it has you will need to advise them of the replacement conveyancer and get the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers.
