We have agreed to purchase a house in Isleworth. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. RBS 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 RBS your lawyer must follow the formal requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The CML Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to RBS where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Isleworth.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Isleworth. I have a mortgage agreed with Yorkshire BS. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Isleworth. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office.

Should one as executor remove a departed person's details from the title deeds for a property in Isleworth?
Where a Isleworth property is co-owned and one of the owners passes away, the name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to amend the title as when it comes to a sale you would just need to evidence why the joint owner is not included in the conveyance, typically this is in the form of the probate documents.
With a view to making things more straight forward in the future you may arrange to have the deceased name erased from the title by applying to HM Land Registry with evidence of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
