This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Westhoughton. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Westhoughton?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Kent Reliance are being pedantic. The Westhoughton solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Kent Reliance are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance 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.

Is this relevant for conveyancing in Westhoughton?
