Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Earls Barton?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Earls Barton your lawyer will ask you to provide them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. If any down payment is as part of the sale price then this will be required shortly prior to exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is needed will be payable shortly before completion.
My wife and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Co-operative as we wish to carry out alterations to our home in Earls Barton. Do we need to appoint a bricks and mortar Earls Barton solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Co-operative do not ordinarily instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Co-operative panel.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Aldermore are being a right pain. The Earls Barton solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Aldermore are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore 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 instructed a Earls Barton conveyancing practitioner having checked that they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Barclays will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Barclays will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Earls Barton surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
