A loan offer from Santander for the refinancing of my single room flat is coming by the end of next week. Could you put forward a low cost conveyancing solicitor in Market Harborough?

We can offer you excellent value conveyancing but our intention is not to advertise as being the cheapest.

I am buying a property mortgage free in Market Harborough. I have resided for the previous dozen years in Market Harborough. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then all but one or two of the Market Harborough conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will try and steer you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but he is duty bound to do this. One thing to consider; if you are likely to dispose of the house one day, it will be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches disclose. There are plenty of instances where houses with apparent issues can still show up unpredicted search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Market Harborough will be able to give you some practical advice here.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Market Harborough. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Principality 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 Principality your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Principality where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Market Harborough.
About to purchase house in Market Harborough. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Market Harborough lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Market Harborough conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Aldermore will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Aldermore 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. You may wish to consider appointing your own Market Harborough surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. 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. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
