I am purchasing a property in Eaglescliffe. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Skipton be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Skipton your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton. The CML Handbook includes minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Skipton where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Eaglescliffe.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Eaglescliffe conveyancing practitioner on the Leeds Building Society panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society mortgage from the register. Leeds Building Society, 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 Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I own a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Eaglescliffe. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Nationwide Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Nationwide Building Society to clarify?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Eaglescliffe and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Eaglescliffe is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Eaglescliffe are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Eaglescliffe you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Eaglescliffe may ascertain 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 residence.

My fiance and I are purchasing a four room ground floor flatin Eaglescliffe with a residential mortgage from a mortgage company. We wish to instruct our solicitor in Eaglescliffe however our lender inform us now that he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint from the our mortgage company panel solicitors or stay with our Eaglescliffe conveyancer and incur the extra costs for one of their panel ones to represent our mortgage company. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our lender use our Eaglescliffe lawyer?
No, not really. The lender home loan offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Eaglescliffe : 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
