I am buying a property in Framlingham. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. HSBC 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 HSBC your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to HSBC where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Framlingham.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Framlingham off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with UBS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with UBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel.

Various online forums that I have come across warn that are the main cause of obstruction in Framlingham house deals. Is this right?

How does conveyancing in Framlingham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Framlingham approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Framlingham tend to buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Framlingham or who has acted in the same development.
