I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Principality are being difficult. The Grenoside solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality 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 what feels like an age I have had an offer on a flat in Grenoside accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have placed an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Grenoside. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Santander?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Grenoside conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Santander conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some buyers will apply for the mortgage with Santander and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Grenoside.
Will our lawyer be making enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Grenoside.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers dealing with homes in Grenoside.

However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that can be carried out by the purchaser or by their solicitors which will figure out the risks in Grenoside. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the seller to determine if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer could bring a legal claim for losses resulting from an misleading response. The purchaser’s conveyancers may also order an environmental report. This will reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be conducted.
How does conveyancing in Grenoside differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Grenoside come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Grenoside typically buy the land, 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Grenoside or who has acted in the same development.
