We have agreed to purchase a house in Irlam. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Co-operative have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Co-operative your lawyer must check the formal instructions outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Co-operative.

The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Irlam.

Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office.

I acquired my flat on 13 June and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Irlam advises it should be formalised inside ten days. Are transfers in Irlam uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Irlam registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. At present in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises so registration formalities is not usually top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Irlam is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Irlam are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
