I am purchasing a property in Bamber Bridge. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. HSBC have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with HSBC your lawyer must check the formal instructions outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The CML Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to HSBC where a lease fails to comply with these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Bamber Bridge.

You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the selling agent.

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Bamber Bridge. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
We are selling our home in Bamber Bridge and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bamber Bridge. We have lived in Bamber Bridge for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
