we are a couple who decided to purchase a newbuild apartment in Harton with a homeloan from Santander.We like our Harton conveyancing lawyer but Santander informed us his firm is not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Santander panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Santander approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Santander
I am purchasing a property in Harton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Yorkshire BS be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Yorkshire BS your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The CML Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease fails to meet these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Harton.
I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Harton bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Harton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
The conveyancing practitioner must comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 specifications for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

How does conveyancing in Harton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Harton come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Harton tend to purchase 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 conveyancing solicitors 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.
