Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sunningdale

Is it the case that all Sunningdale solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As solicitors, in order to be on the UBS conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. Many banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Sunningdale off the council. I have a mortgage offer with TSB. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. 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 TSB, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Bank of Ireland are being a right pain. The Sunningdale solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Bank of Ireland are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland 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.

My colleague recommended that where I am buying in Sunningdale I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

This is a search is usually quoted for as part of the standard Sunningdale conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of more than thirty pages, listing and setting out significant information about Sunningdale around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Sunningdale Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Sunningdale.

I have justfound out that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Sunningdale for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?

The quickest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can make 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 Sunningdale conveyancing specialists.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Sunningdale ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some lenders may not give a mortgage on this type of premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Sunningdale.
