I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Leeds Building Society are being difficult. The St Columb solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Leeds Building Society are insisting on 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.

The estate agent will want to be advised as to your conveyancing practitioner's details (ensure that the property lawyers are on the lender’s panel).

Co-operative will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to schedule a slot for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to get a mortgage offer. Co-operative will issue the offer to you and your conveyancers.

How does conveyancing in St Columb differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in St Columb contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in St Columb tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in St Columb or who has acted in the same development.

I am 17 days into a freehold purchase having been directed to a firm by the local agent to execute conveyancing in St Columb. We are not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new lawyers?

They would need to be really poor in order to consider changing them. Has your loan offer been generated? In the event that it has you must inform them of the new lawyer and ensure the offer are re-issued. Your new solicitor ideally should be on the banks panel to avoid escalating fees and delays. That should be your starting point. The search tool should help you find a lender approved conveyancer for your conveyancing in St Columb
