I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, HSBC are being pedantic. The Sanderstead solicitor who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but HSBC are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do HSBC have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that HSBC have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why HSBC 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.
Principality have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a flat in Sanderstead has been agreed to, now what?
The property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancers are on the bank’s approved list). Contact Principality or your broker and finalise any outstanding documentation. Principality will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week to get a mortgage offer. Principality will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Sanderstead.
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Sanderstead and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Sanderstead. Having lived in Sanderstead for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of 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)

A defective lease will likely cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Lloyds TSB Bank, Barnsley Building Society, and Platform Home Loans Ltd all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the buyer to withdraw.
