Do the conveyancing lawyers Indexed on your site handle auction conveyancing in Oadby?
There are a number of niche practitioners we can put you in touch with those conducting auction conveyancing. Oadby is one of hundreds of areas of in which our lawyers are based.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Oadby. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Oadby?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Virgin Money are being a right pain. The Oadby solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Virgin Money are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Virgin Money have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Virgin Money have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Virgin Money 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 was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nationwide. Is it usual for Nationwide to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Oadby is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nationwide have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I purchased a 1st floor flat in Oadby, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent flats in Oadby with an extended lease are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2077
