I am buying a property without a mortgage in Aberystwyth. I have been residing for the previous Seventeen years in Aberystwyth. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I know the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

If you not getting a mortgage, then almost all of the Aberystwyth conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but he is duty bound to take that path of advice. Do bear in mind; if you are intend to sell the house one day, it will be of importance to your future purchaser what the searches determine. Sometimes houses with apparent issues can still reveal unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Aberystwyth will be able to give you some practical guidance concerning this.

Are all Aberystwyth Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel?

It is true that some lenders now use the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their panels.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Aberystwyth. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Barclays have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that your lender is Barclays your lawyer must check the formal requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays. The CML Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Barclays where a lease fails to satisfy these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Aberystwyth.

What will a local search tell me concerning the house I am purchasing in Aberystwyth?

Aberystwyth conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search organisations such as Xpress Legal The local search is essential in every Aberystwyth conveyancing purchase; that is if you wish to avoid any nasty once you have moved into your property. The search should reveal data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic sections.

Me and my brother own a renovated Edwardian house in Aberystwyth. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and The Mortgage Works. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Aberystwyth and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on an maisonette in Aberystwyth accepted, the seller does however have a tied purchase. The sellers have submitted an offer on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing lawyer in Aberystwyth. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with HSBC?

It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Aberystwyth conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Regarding the next steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with HSBC and arrange for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they request their property lawyer to proceed with searches.
