Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Denmark Hill conveyancing lawyers have been chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Clydesdale?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Clydesdale completed the valuation? Have you advised Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Nationwide are being a right pain. The Denmark Hill solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Nationwide are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide 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.

Just bought a semi-detached house in Denmark Hill , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Denmark Hill conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the registration is concluded.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Denmark Hill registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not typically top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Denmark Hill I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Denmark Hill in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you require a home loan that many years may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

How and when do I cover the costs of stamp duty chargeable for my purchase in Denmark Hill?
