As someone clueless as to the Banwell conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can give me concerning the house moving process in Banwell
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Banwell and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the transaction. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and sometimes your lender. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Banwell should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the transaction whose responsibility is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.
There is a worrying increase in the "blame" culture- someone must be blamed for the process taking so long. You your first instinct should be to trust your lawyer above the other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Banwell. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Banwell?

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, are being a right pain. The Banwell solicitor who is on the conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Banwell is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Banwell are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Banwell you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Banwell may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
