Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Marks Gate. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Marks Gate?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Aldermore are being pedantic. The Marks Gate solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Aldermore are insisting on 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.
