We have agreed to purchase a house in Barlborough. 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 you are obtaining a mortgage with Barclays your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays. The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Barclays where a lease fails to comply with these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Barlborough.

I'm spending time looking at houses in Barlborough and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it sensible to have a lawyer on ‘stand by’? I am planning to take a home loan with RBS.

It would be advisable to instigate your search sooner rather than later.

As you are getting a mortgage with RBS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.

I have paid off my mortgage with Nottingham. I assume I don't need a Barlborough lawyer on the Nottingham panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Nottingham mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Nottingham mortgage from the register. Nottingham, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Nottingham has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Nottingham has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Nottingham mortgage has been paid off.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Barlborough I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Barlborough in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.

You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

I am employed by a long established estate agent office in Barlborough where we see a few leasehold sales jeopardised due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given conflicting advice from local Barlborough conveyancing solicitors. Could you confirm whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.

Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
