We have agreed to purchase a house in Cross Keys. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender RBS be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with RBS your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to RBS where a lease does not comply with these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Cross Keys.
I have paid off my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Cross Keys property lawyer on the Clydesdale panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, 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:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Cross Keys off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Co-operative. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.
I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require this when acquiring a residence in Cross Keys? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that means some homeowners residing in a parish church boundary may be liable to pay for maintenance towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this applicable for conveyancing in Cross Keys?
Unless a prior purchase of the premises took place post 12 October 2013 you can expect conveyancing practitioners delivering conveyancing in Cross Keys to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.

We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent told us that the seller will only issue a contract if we appoint their preferred solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’.

It is improbable the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Cross Keys conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by corporate headquarters.
