I require conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (five years old) in Harlington. Almost all the flats have already been disposed of. Is it really necessary to order local searches for my conveyancing in Harlington?
Where you are obtaining a mortgage, your bank will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Harlington conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer, will ’encourage’, perhaps strongly, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you will need to change to another solicitor for your conveyancing in Harlington.

is it true that all Harlington solicitor practices on the Skipton conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Skipton approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. The majority of banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be overseen by the CLC.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Co-operative are being difficult. The Harlington solicitor who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Co-operative are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Co-operative have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Co-operative have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Co-operative 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.

Being a leasehold owner I am on the hook for a service charge for my property in Harlington. Due to redundancy and personal issues I fell behind with payments. The managing agents agreed a payment schedule but there remains two currently outstanding.
I am under pressure to sell and I am worried this can jeopardize the sale if I have to discharge the arrears in advance. I'd like to sell up and then repay the arrears from the completion monies - is this viable?
It would be wise to check with the lawyer carrying out your Harlington conveyancing but one option could be to agree for the arrears to be passed to the buyers. The sale price they pay would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then discharge the fees post completion of the purchase.
