We are acquiring a new build flat in Fortis Green and my conveyancer is telling me that she is duty bound to the bank to reveal incentives from the builder. I am on a tight deadline to sign contracts and I don't want to prolong the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Skipton are being problematic. The Fortis Green solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Skipton are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton 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 deeds to our home are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Fortis Green 5 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?

Is it best to choose a Fortis Green conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am purchasing? An old friend can handle the legal formalities but his firm is located 200kilometers drive away.
