We are purchasing our first home. The conveyancer has e-mailedto ask if we want to purchase additional conveyancing searches. Frankly we have no idea as to what's recommended for conveyancing in Small Heath
The type of Small Heath conveyancing searches should be dictated entirely on the property, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your familiarity of the region and risks, your overall attitude to risk. What is important is that you adequately appreciate what information each search could provide. You may then make a decision if you personally think you need that search. If unsure, ask the property lawyer to recommend.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a 1st time buyer of a ground floor flat in Small Heath. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Small Heath?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Barclays are being pedantic. The Small Heath solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Barclays are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Barclays have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Barclays 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.
