Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the process as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Rayners Lane. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Rayners Lane?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Rayners Lane. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I'm the single recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Rayners Lane. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in March. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be impacted by that. Most lenders would take a practical view as this clause is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
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, Nationwide are being a right pain. The Rayners Lane solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Nationwide are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide 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.

It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Rayners Lane completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I'm buying a new build house in Rayners Lane benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will impact my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
