The Haydon Bridge conveyancing firm handling our Haydon Bridge conveyancing has uncovered a discrepancy between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance legitimate?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Haydon Bridge. An unusual 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 your lender is Aldermore your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Aldermore. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Aldermore where a lease fails to meet these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Haydon Bridge.
My offer was accepted on an apartment in Haydon Bridge on 25/9/2024, valuation was booked 3 days after, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Nottingham and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Are Nottingham entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nottingham to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
