I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, TSB are being problematic. The Skelmersdale solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but TSB are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB 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 property in Skelmersdale has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Skelmersdale. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Skelmersdale conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your solicitor is on the Virgin Money approved list. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many buyers would apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Skelmersdale.
