I am under pressure from the owner of a property in Sneinton to sign contracts within four weeks. What can I do to expedite matters?
Where the seller is applying pressure to sign contracts it is advisable to make sure that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will benefit local contacts and intelligence. It is even conceivable that they may have conducted otherproperties in the same road. Therefore consider using a Sneinton conveyancing lawyer. In addition, make sure that the lawyer is on the lender panel. It is estimated that just under twenty per cent of Sneinton conveyancing deals are suspended or jeopardised after finding out that a purchaser’s conveyancer was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. This can often result in the legal transfer of property being frustrated by as much as three weeks. It is understood that this issue affects in the region of 100,000 home sales every year. Many Sneinton conveyancing firms can not represent certain banks so do check at the outset.
It is a dozen years since I purchased my property in Sneinton. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I can't locate the deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Sneinton relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, HSBC are being difficult. The Sneinton solicitor who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but HSBC are insisting on 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.
At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Sneinton accepted, the sellers do however have a connected purchase. The sellers have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Sneinton. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Co-operative started?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Sneinton conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your solicitor is on the Co-operative approved list. Concerning the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many home buyers will apply for a home loan with Co-operative and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their solicitor to proceed with searches.
