I am purchasing a property in Clacton On Sea. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Bank of Ireland have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Bank of Ireland your lawyer must check the formal requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease does not comply with these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Clacton On Sea.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a flat in Clacton On Sea agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Clacton On Sea. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Coventry BS going?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Clacton On Sea conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your property lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of home buyers will apply for a home loan with Coventry BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with the conveyancing in Clacton On Sea.

I am buying a new build house in Clacton On Sea benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my conveyancer about this deal as it will affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
