I am expecting a OIP from Virgin Money this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Virgin Money recommend any New Farnley solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint New Farnley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Virgin Money through the process.

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Aldermore are being difficult. The New Farnley solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Aldermore are requiring 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.

I have justfound out that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in New Farnley for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I establish that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of New Farnley conveyancing specialists.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in New Farnley I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in New Farnley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct their preferred lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in New Farnley

It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they understand (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred New Farnley conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.
