Me and my fiancee are buying our first house. Our solicitor has e-mailedto ask if we would like to take out additional conveyancing searches. Unfortunately we have no idea as to what's recommended for conveyancing in Birchgrove
The range of Birchgrove conveyancing searches should be triggered based primarily on the property, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your familiarity of the locality and risks, your overall appetite to risk. What is important is that you properly appreciate what information the searches could give you. Then you can decide if you consider that you need that information. If unsure, ask the solicitor to advise.
At what point does exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Birchgrove and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Birchgrove you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the firms we work with offer a national conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract simply enables the firm to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Birchgrove)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
A friend pointed out to me me that in purchasing a property in Birchgrove there may be various restrictions preventing external alterations to a property. Is this right?

I am purchasing a property in Birchgrove. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Skipton have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Skipton your lawyer must follow the formal instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton. The CML Handbook includes minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Skipton where a lease does not comply with these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Birchgrove.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Nottingham are being difficult. The Birchgrove solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Nottingham are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Birchgrove is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Birchgrove are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Birchgrove you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Birchgrove may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
