The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Pencader. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
I am selling my apartment. 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, Kent Reliance are being a right pain. The Pencader solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Kent Reliance are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance 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 finally had an offer on a flat in Pencader agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Pencader. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Yorkshire BS started?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Pencader conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS approved list. As to the subsequent steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Pencader.
Various online forums that I have visited warn that are the number one reason for hinderance in Pencader house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Pencader.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Pencader?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Pencader.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Pencader in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders tend not grant a loan on this type of premises.

Last November I purchased a leasehold house in Pencader. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

The best form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this arrangement the lessees benefit from being in charge if their destiny and although a managing agent is usually employed where the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. For many Pencader leaseholds the outlay for major works are not built into the maintenance charges, although there some managing agents in Pencader ask tenants to contribute towards a sinking fund and this is used to offset against major repairs or maintenance. Who are the managing agents?
