Locating the right conveyancer can mark the difference between a smooth and a distressing move. It is important that you ensure that you have expert advice from a specialist solicitor.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Elmswell conveyancing practitioners are instructed. How long does it take for Co-operative to send the offer to the solicitor?

I am buying a property in Elmswell. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender HSBC be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with HSBC your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to HSBC where a lease does not meet these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Elmswell.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Elmswell I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Elmswell suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
