I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Leeds Building Society are being pedantic. The Turnham Green solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Leeds Building Society are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society 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 sealed bid on a semi in Turnham Green has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Turnham Green. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Turnham Green conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancer is on the Virgin Money approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of buyers will apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with searches.
