Can you help? My Budleigh Salterton lawyer is advising me that he is legally obliged toorder Budleigh Salterton conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Virgin Moneysolicitor panel. Is my lawyer correct?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Budleigh Salterton conveyancing searches.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Virgin Money, do Budleigh Salterton property lawyers have to pay an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any lender fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
I'm in the throws of looking at flats in Budleigh Salterton and I am about to put in an offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a home loan with Santander.
It would be wise to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the EA. As you are getting a mortgage with Santander, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Santander conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Bank of Ireland are being pedantic. The Budleigh Salterton solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Bank of Ireland are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland 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.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Budleigh Salterton with the intention of expediting the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Budleigh Salterton can be bypassed where you get in touch lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and ask them to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ conveyancers. The majority of freeholders or managing agents in Budleigh Salterton levy fees for supplying management packs for a leasehold property.

Budleigh Salterton leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord approving such works. Should you fail to have the paperwork to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without contacting your conveyancer before hand. If you are supposed to have a share in the freehold, you should ensure that you have the original share document. Obtaining a replacement share certificate can be a time consuming formality and slows down many a Budleigh Salterton conveyancing deal.
