It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I am purchasing a property in Bamber Bridge. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Bank of Ireland be concerned?
As your lender is Bank of Ireland your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The CML Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease does not meet these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Bamber Bridge.
