We had chosen conveyancers based in Flint Mountain on the Aldermore solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate amount for the legal aspects of the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor can charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Flint Mountain lawyer. Numerous firms on the Aldermore panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. Flint Mountain conveyancing lawyers are appointed. How long does it take for Bank of Ireland to forward the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Bank of Ireland conducted the valuation? Have you advised Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Flint Mountain. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Bank of Ireland be concerned?
Given that your lender is Bank of Ireland your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The CML Handbook includes minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease does not meet these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Flint Mountain.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Flint Mountain is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?

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.
