Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with UBS your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to UBS where a lease does not comply with these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Bamburgh.

It would be wise to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. As you are obtaining a mortgage with HSBC, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

I know that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Bamburgh is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?

Flying freeholds in Bamburgh are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bamburgh you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bamburgh may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
