We have agreed to purchase a house in Llanddulas. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Aldermore be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Aldermore your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Aldermore. The CML 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 requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Llanddulas.
My husband and I are at the point of looking at houses in Llanddulas and I am about to put in an offer. Is it sensible to have a property lawyer on ‘stand by’? I am planning to take a mortgage with Aldermore.
You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Aldermore, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
I've read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Llanddulas solicitor - who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Barclays will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Barclays will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Llanddulas postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Barclays, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Llanddulas.
I have todaybeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Llanddulas for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Llanddulas conveyancing specialists.
I'm buying a new build house in Llanddulas with a loan from Barnsley Building Society. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my lawyer about this deal as it would affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent told us that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct the agent's preferred solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Llanddulas
We suspect that the seller is not behind this demand. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your preferred Llanddulas conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will give their estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
