I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Irby. My lender is Accord Mortgages

Accord Mortgages have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 22/2/2026, the requirements read as follows :

I am purchasing a property in Irby. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Yorkshire BS 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 Yorkshire BS your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease does not satisfy these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Irby.

My partner and I are in the process of looking at houses in Irby and I am about to put in an offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Leeds Building Society.

You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Irby. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.

A friend advised me that where I am buying in Irby I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

This is a search is occasionally quoted for as part of the standard Irby conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of about 40 pages, listing and setting out important information about Irby around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Irby.

How does conveyancing in Irby differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Irby approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because new home sellers in Irby typically purchase the real estate, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Irby or who has acted in the same development.

I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Irby ahead of instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will refuse to give a loan on this type of property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can check via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Irby. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Irby especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Irby.
