As I am unsure how the conveyancing process works what is the most important advice you can give me regarding purchase conveyancing in Putney Vale?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Putney Vale or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the transaction. For example, the seller, property agent and on occasion a lender. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Putney Vale should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the process whose responsibility is to look after your legal interests and to keep you safe.
We are witnessing a distinct creep in the "blame" culture- someone has to be at fault for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you should always trust your solicitor above all other parties when it comes to the legal assignment of property.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Clydesdale, do Putney Vale conveyancers face an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?

My wife and I are in the process of viewing houses in Putney Vale and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancer appointed at this point? I intend to finance via a mortgage with RBS.
It would be sensible to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the selling agent. As you are taking out a mortgage with RBS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the RBS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Nottingham are being difficult. The Putney Vale solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Nottingham are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham 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.
