I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in month 8 but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Landbay Partners are being difficult. The solicitor who is on the Landbay Partners conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Landbay Partners are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Landbay Partners have a conveyancing panel of they don’t accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Landbay Partners have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Landbay Partners 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.
My ex -wife’s name is on the Landbay Partners mortgage of my property but not on the land registry. The apartment was transferred to me on our divorce many years ago by way of a sealed court order. Does my ex still have a say on the sale even though the land registry showing the property in my name alone? Will I be required to take her name of the Landbay Partners mortgage in order to sell?
As regards the Landbay Partners mortgage, it is unusual that your ex-wife’s name remains on the mortgage but not on the title. It is conceivable that this is an oversight on the part of your conveyancers to ensure that her name was removed or even an administrative error on the part of Landbay Partners in failing to update their data. In any event, it should cause difficulty providing her name no longer appears on the Land Registry title and you have a court order ordering that the property is transferred to you.
