I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Leeds Building Society are being difficult. The Selston solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Leeds Building Society are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

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

I had an offer accepted on a house in Selston on 10/1/2025, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Clydesdale and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Skipton have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a apartment in Selston has been accepted, what are the next steps?

The property agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the lender’s panel). Contact Skipton or your financial adviser and finish off any outstanding paperwork. Skipton will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to book a time for the valuation to take place. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. Skipton 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 Selston.

I have justbecome aware that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Selston for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest method to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Selston conveyancing specialists.

My father-in-law has urged me to instruct his conveyancing solicitors in Selston. Do I take his advice?

No doubt the best way to choose a conveyancing solicitor is to have guidance from friends or relatives who have actually used the conveyancer you're are thinking of instructing.

Completion is due on the sale of our £125,000 maisonette in Selston next Monday. The managing agents has quoted £396 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and previous years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a flat conveyance in Selston?

Selston conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes often requires the purchaser’s solicitor submitting enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to such questions the majority will be content to assist. They are at liberty to charge a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it is in excess of £800. The management information fee demanded by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration fees, otherwise the invoice is technically not due. In reality you have little option but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to sell the property.

Equivalent flats in Selston with an extended lease are worth £197,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 2080

You have 55 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations.
