I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Bank of Ireland are being difficult. The Dawlish solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Bank of Ireland are requiring 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.
Coventry BS have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a apartment in Dawlish has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
The estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (be sure the conveyancers are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone Coventry BS or your broker and complete any relevant forms. Coventry BS will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or owners to book a time for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Coventry BS will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Dawlish.
