I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must be out of my let out property in Borrowash by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in three weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?
It is unwise to serve notice for your letting until you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not already done so, notify to your conveyancer and request that they cajole the sellers solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will work to achieve

We had appointed solicitors with offices in Borrowash on the Clydesdale solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional sum for the legal aspects of the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Clydesdale?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Clydesdale but by your Borrowash conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Clydesdale panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I am purchasing a property in Borrowash. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. UBS 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 UBS your lawyer must follow the formal requirements set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The CML Handbook includes minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to UBS where a lease does not comply with these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Borrowash.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Skipton are being pedantic. The Borrowash solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Skipton are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Borrowash I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Borrowash suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
