I am considering applying for a Co-operative mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Bromham with 65 per cent LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Co-operative ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, but Co-operative would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Bromham what would it be?
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Bromham conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. 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.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Bromham. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Barclays be concerned?
Given that your lender is Barclays your lawyer must follow the formal instructions set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Barclays where a lease does not comply with these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Bromham.
We were going to get a OIP from Santander this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Bromham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.
