My partner and I have organised the release of further monies on our home loan from Aldermore as we wish to conduct improvements to our property in Nayland. Are we obliged to appoint a bricks and mortar Nayland solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Aldermore would not normally appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with UBS. Nayland conveyancing practitioners were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from UBS?
There is no definitive answer here. Have UBS done the survey? Have you advised UBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the UBS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I am buying a property in Nayland. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Bank of Ireland 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 Bank of Ireland your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease does not satisfy these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Nayland.

Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Nayland , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Nayland conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain that my purchase is recorded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Nayland registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs after the buyer is living at the property thus post completion formalities is not always an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Nayland is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Nayland are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Nayland you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Nayland may determine 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.

Technically speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are based in Nayland
I am buying a flat with all finances in place. I have provided solicitor with two distinct evidence of photo identification, bank statement, multiple utility bills. Now he needs a copy from a probate lawyer stating that the money is in order and that it has come from inheritance and not via illegitimate means.

This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of ID it must be both the paper part and photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other. Establishing of your source of funds is required under Money Laundering Regulations.
