My wife and I are acquiring a newly built flat in Shirenewton and my lawyer is informing me that she is duty bound to the bank to reveal incentives from the seller. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to sign contracts and I would rather not prolong the conveyancing. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Shirenewton off the council. I have a mortgage offer with UBS. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with UBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Virgin Money are being difficult. The Shirenewton 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.
Our offer on a detached house in Shirenewton has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Shirenewton. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Barclays?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Shirenewton conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must check that your lawyer is on the Barclays approved list. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Barclays and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to press on with searches.
I have justfound out that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Shirenewton for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to check if the premises is in your name, 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 Shirenewton conveyancing specialists.
