My wife and I have arranged the release of further monies on our home loan from Coventry BS as we intend to conduct a loft conversion to our house in Crowle. Are we obliged to appoint a local Crowle solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Crowle. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. TSB 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 your lender is TSB your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The CML Handbook includes minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to TSB where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Crowle.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Bank of Ireland are being pedantic. The Crowle solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Bank of Ireland are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland 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.

Local searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Crowle.

Flying freeholds in Crowle are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Crowle may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
