I am purchasing a property in Little Bromwich. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. UBS 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 UBS your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to UBS where a lease fails to comply with these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Little Bromwich.
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Little Bromwich. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £200. Shortly after, the solicitor called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Skipton panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to rent out our Little Bromwich basement flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Little Bromwich conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Your lease dictates relations between the landlord and you the flat owner; in particular, it will say if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Little Bromwich do not contain strict prohibition on subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the property. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the tenancy agreement.
