I'm in the throws of viewing houses in Darton and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it advisable to have my conveyancing practitioner on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Nottingham.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent.

I can not fathom if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Darton building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Darton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the solicitor is on the mortgage company approved list, they must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Aldermore are being difficult. The Darton solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Aldermore are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore 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.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
