Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hoxton

The Hoxton conveyancing firm handling our Hoxton conveyancing has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer says that he needs to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance correct?

Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, UBS are being difficult. The Hoxton solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but UBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS 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.
