Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Bank of Ireland your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Neath Abbey.

The property lawyers handling our conveyancing in Neath Abbey has sent papers to review that reveal that the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not yet recorded at HM Land Regsitry?

Plenty of Neath Abbey conveyancing solicitors will be able to handle this type of conveyancing but if any uncertainty prevails the standard proposition these days is for the current owners to deal with the registration formalities first and then deal with the transfer to the buyer - this will have a knock on effect to cause a significant delay.
