I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Yorkshire BS are being pedantic. The Old Oak Common solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Yorkshire BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS 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.
HSBC have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a apartment in Old Oak Common has been accepted, what happens next?
The property agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s panel). Contact HSBC or the broker and finalise any relevant forms. HSBC will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. HSBC will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Old Oak Common.
Will our lawyer be making enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Old Oak Common.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Old Oak Common. There are those who purchase a house in Old Oak Common, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Old Oak Common. The conventional set of information given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual inquiry of the seller to determine if the property has historically flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer may bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading response. The buyer’s lawyers should also carry out an environmental search. This will indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be initiated.

Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Old Oak Common - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties.
