I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in month 6 but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Hinckley and Rugby are being pedantic. The solicitor who is on the Hinckley and Rugby conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Hinckley and Rugby are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Hinckley and Rugby have a conveyancing panel of they don’t accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Hinckley and Rugby have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Hinckley and Rugby 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 offer on house has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on somewhere, but not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties booked. My conveyancing solicitor has been instructed. What do I do now? At what point should I appy for the mortgage with Hinckley and Rugby?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey/valuation, conveyancing search costs, etc). First you should check that your solicitor is on the Hinckley and Rugby conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot mortgage some buyers would pally for the mortgage with Hinckley and Rugby and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to press on with searches.
