Are the BSA intent on creating a search tool with a view to to identify firms on the Loughborough BS conveyancing panel for instance in Badminton?

We are not aware of any plans on the part of the BSA to develop such a tool.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home moving as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Badminton. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Badminton?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be called to receive the keys from the Estate 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 May 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Kent Reliance are being difficult. The Badminton solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution 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.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Badminton property lawyer having made sure that they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Kent Reliance will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Kent Reliance will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Badminton surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

How does conveyancing in Badminton differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Badminton approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Badminton typically acquire the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Badminton or who has acted in the same development.

My folks are encountering difficulties in finding their Badminton property on the HM Land Registry site. They recall that 48 years ago when they acquired the house there were complications regarding Badminton not being identified on some systems.

Almost all premises in Badminton should appear. Have you endevoured to search to simply the postcode. Ordinarily it should identify all the premises inside that postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will show up with a title number. Where they bought 50 years ago it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The address may still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title documentation which might be with your parent’s bank.
