No NHBC certificate...solictor !!!! up!!!!!

Posts: 2 Newbie
Hi guys my first post here and I really hope you can help my fiancee and I because we are really worried.
We have recently bought a new property and part exchanged our apartment for the house. We had a call form our solictior saying we had exchanged today....Great! they also informed us they would need our NHBC certificate for our current property.... no problem or so we thought!
After trawling through all of our paperwork the only NHBC documents we have is in fact the buildmark offer pack, which includes the buildmark cover acceptance form. After reading through this we now realise that these forms should have been completed nearly 3 years ago by our solicitor and returned to the NHBC so they can issue our NHBC cover certificate.
What do we do? We have now exchanged and a have a tight deadline for completion and no NHBC certificate. We will get be in contact with our previous solicitor who seems to have (to put it bluntly) cocked up!
Am I right in thinking we should have never recieved the full build mark pack, just the buildmark offer??? I really don't know what to do
Please help........:eek:

Exact same thing has just happened to me yesterday
Just put our house on the market and have been gathering all my docs together. Got out what I assumed was the certificate, only to realise it was the acceptance form that the solicitor should have sent back!
I rang him and explained everything to him. He said to send him the forms and he will send them on to NHBC. He said things like this happen all the time and they are very good about it
We bought our house in May 2006

There was someone here the other day too. They called NHBC and they would issue a new cert for £41 and something pence.
Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

Thanks for the reply magic_dragon, that has put my mind at rest! We really panicked when we realised especially as they have now taken our deposit!!!
Doozergirl, yeah I reda that post last night, I'mnot sure but it sounded like they had just not been given the certificate, hence th £41 and something p! Unfortunately we never even sent off for ours!0 -

Hiya, yes this was me!, we just never received the certificate although our solicitor claims they sent it to us, anyway we have rung NHBC and they are sending us a new one, it costs £41.13 and takes about 10 days apparentlyTotal unsecured debt July 08 - £46, 311.88 :eek:
