I'm in the process of looking at flats in Moulton and I am about to put in an offer. Is it best to have my solicitor on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a mortgage with UBS.

You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP.

Given that you are taking out a mortgage with UBS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Co-operative are being difficult. The Moulton solicitor who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Co-operative are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Co-operative have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Co-operative have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Co-operative 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 had an offer accepted on a property in Moulton on 26/2/2024, valuation was booked 3 days later, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Lloyds and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Lloyds to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

The best form of lease structure is if the freehold title is in the ownership of the leaseholders.
