Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Tregaron. My lender is Accord Mortgages
Accord Mortgages have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 20/9/2025, the requirements read as follows :
I'm the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Tregaron. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in August. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
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." Technically you could be affected by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this provision chiefly exists to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Tregaron. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £175. Soon after, the conveyancer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Lloyds panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Barclays are being pedantic. The Tregaron solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Barclays are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Barclays have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Barclays 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 just started marketing my basement apartment in Tregaron. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently had a quarterly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as normal because all ground rent and maintenance invoices will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
