My home in Paulton is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Does my conveyancer need to be required to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Paulton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Clydesdale be concerned?
Given that your lender is Clydesdale your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Clydesdale. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Clydesdale where a lease does not satisfy these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Paulton.
It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Paulton building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Paulton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the lawyer is on the lender approved list, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

A couple of days later, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me to say that they were not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nottingham panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
