The Wilberfoss conveyancing firm handling our Wilberfoss conveyancing has spotted a difference between the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor says that he is obliged to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach appropriate?

Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I am being told by my lawyer that restrictive coveneant insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Wilberfoss?

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Principality are being a right pain. The Wilberfoss solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Principality are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

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