We are getting the release of further funds on our mortgage from Skipton as we wish to conduct renovations to our property in East Twickenham. Are we obliged to select a nearby East Twickenham solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Skipton don't usually appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
I am purchasing a property in East Twickenham. A rare 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?
Given that your lender is Bank of Ireland your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to East Twickenham.
We expect to receive a OIP from Co-operative this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Co-operative recommend any East Twickenham solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint East Twickenham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.
