My fiancee and I are purchasing our first home. Our conveyancing practitioner has messagedto ask if we want to order supplemental conveyancing searches. Unfortunately we have no idea as to what's necessary for conveyancing in Freezywater
The range of Freezywater conveyancing searches should be dictated entirely on the premises, the location, the possibility of any of these risks, your knowledge of the locality and risks, your general appetite to risk. What is important is that you adequately understand what information each search could provide. You may then decide if you personally think you need that information. If unclear, ask the conveyancing practitioner to advise.
Is it the case that all Freezywater CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the UBS conveyancing list of approved firms?
Some major lenders now use the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of firms.
We had selected conveyancers located in Freezywater on the Aldermore solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional sum for the legal aspects of the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Aldermore?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer may charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Freezywater solicitor. Numerous firms on the Aldermore panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
I am purchasing a property in Freezywater. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Aldermore 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 you are obtaining a mortgage with Aldermore your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Aldermore. The CML Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Aldermore where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Freezywater.
