My husband and I decided to purchase a purpose built flat in Castleton and Blacktown with a residential mortgage from Nationwide Building Society.We like our Castleton and Blacktown conveyancing practitioner but Nationwide Building Society advised that he's not on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Nationwide Building Society panel solicitor or retain our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Nationwide Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Nationwide Building Society approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nationwide Building Society
We are aiming to move property in November. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Castleton and Blacktown. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from your property agent but this should only happen once the sellers lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Castleton and Blacktown or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Castleton and Blacktown.
We previously instructed conveyancers locally in Castleton and Blacktown on the Skipton solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a supplemental amount for dealing with the Skipton mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Skipton?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer can charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Skipton but by your Castleton and Blacktown conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Skipton panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Castleton and Blacktown. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Leeds Building Society have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Leeds Building Society your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Castleton and Blacktown.

I am looking at a two apartments in Castleton and Blacktown both have about forty five years unexpired on the lease term. Do I need to be concerned?
A lease is a right to use the property for a period of time. As a lease shortens the saleability of the lease reduces and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. For this reason it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage lenders may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.
