My partner and I are purchasing our first house. Our conveyancer has contact usto see if we want to purchase supplemental conveyancing searches. Frankly we in the dark as to what's recommended for conveyancing in Henfield
The range of Henfield conveyancing searches depends entirely on the property, the location, the possibility of any of these risks, your knowledge of the locality and risks, your general appetite to risk.

I am expecting a DIP from Aldermore this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any Henfield solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Henfield solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.
It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Henfield building society branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Henfield conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the property lawyer is on the lender panel, they must comply with the CML Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 left on the lease.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Yorkshire BS are being difficult. The Henfield solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Yorkshire BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS 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.
