Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control.

You should appoint new lawyers that are on the DB UK Bank conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in month 7 but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, DB UK Bank are being problematic. The solicitor who is on the DB UK Bank conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but DB UK Bank are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do DB UK Bank have a conveyancing panel of they don’t accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that DB UK Bank have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why DB UK Bank may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing correctly and safely installed. It merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about week to get a mortgage offer. DB UK Bank will issue the offer to you and your lawyer. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing.
