At what point will exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Poplar and am I required to attend the conveyancers branch?

I am buying a property in Poplar. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Skipton have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Skipton your lawyer must check the formal requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Skipton where a lease does not meet these conditions.

How does conveyancing in Poplar differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Poplar contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Poplar usually buy the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Poplar or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Poplar is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Poplar are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Poplar you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Poplar 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 premises.
