I am buying a property in Lydney. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Nationwide be concerned?
As your lender is Nationwide your lawyer must check the formal requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nationwide. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Nationwide where a lease fails to meet these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Lydney.
How does conveyancing in Lydney differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Lydney come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Lydney typically acquire 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 Lydney or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Lydney is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Lydney are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Lydney you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lydney may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
