Completed the sale of my flat in West Ealing last March yet the purchaser is telephoning every few hours to moan that his lawyer needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Following your sale your conveyancer should send the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Where appropriate, your solicitor should also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been redeemed to the purchasers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures just for conveyancing in West Ealing.

Given that you are now legally bound yourself to purchase you must choose a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of priority as you now have a pending a fixed date to complete the purchase. All auction property should have a corresponding auction pack. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the conveyancing papers may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation pertinent to leasehold premises. You need to pass this on to the lawyer instructed by you at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that you have funds in order to complete on the on the contractual date .
I currently have a mortgage with Lloyds for my property in West Ealing. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Lloyds?
You must advise Lloyds in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Lloyds’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Lloyds will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Lloyds directly. You need not do this via a Lloyds conveyancing panel firm.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Principality are being problematic. The West Ealing solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality 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.
