The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Highams Park. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Clydesdale are being problematic. The Highams Park solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Clydesdale are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale 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 mortgage in principle, my bid on a house in Highams Park has been accepted, what are the next steps?

Your property agent will want to be informed of your conveyancer's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s panel). Contact Coventry BS or the broker and finish off any relevant paperwork. Coventry BS will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to arrange an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days to get a mortgage offer. Coventry BS will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Highams Park.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Highams Park I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Highams Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent told us that the owners will only move forward if we appoint the agent's recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Highams Park

It is highly unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Highams Park conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.
