We have agreed to purchase a house in Grimsby. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Virgin Money be concerned?
Given that your lender is Virgin Money your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Virgin Money. The CML Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Virgin Money where a lease does not meet these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Grimsby.
I have a mortgage with Clydesdale for my property in Grimsby. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Clydesdale?
You must advise Clydesdale in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Clydesdale’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Clydesdale will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Clydesdale directly. You need not do this via a Clydesdale conveyancing panel lawyer.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Grimsby. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Grimsby - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
