Having sold my house in Calcot last November but my buyer keeps e-mailing me to say her solicitor needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?

After completion of your sale your conveyancer is duty bound to send the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. If applicable, your solicitor must also evidence that the mortgage has been repaid to the purchasers conveyancers. There are no post completion steps just for conveyancing in Calcot.

I can not work out if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Calcot building society branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Calcot conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend based on their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

Your lawyer has to comply with the CML Handbook section two requirements for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Calcot. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an on account payment of £150. Soon after, the conveyancing practitioner 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 apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Nottingham are being problematic. The Calcot solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Nottingham are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham 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.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Calcot 10 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?

Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer will know precisely where to find all the relevant documentation so you can buy or sell your property without a hitch. If copies can’t be located, your lawyer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the property.
