I am buying a property in Dunstable. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Santander 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 you are obtaining a mortgage with Santander your lawyer must follow the formal instructions outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Santander. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Santander where a lease does not meet these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Dunstable.

You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with HSBC, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for obstruction in Dunstable house deals. Is that correct?

Searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Dunstable.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Dunstable registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs once the buyer is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I opted to have a survey done on a property in Dunstable ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of premises.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different instructions from Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Dunstable.

I have been pointed in your direction by a few property agents in Dunstable to select a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your site ahead of another?

We refuse to offer any financial incentive for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
