However, the law practices we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally.

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Bank of Ireland but by your Radcliffe conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I am buying a property in Radcliffe. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Barclays be concerned?
As your lender is Barclays your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays. The CML Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Barclays where a lease does not meet these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Radcliffe.
I am purchasing my first flat in Radcliffe benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Radcliffe is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Radcliffe are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Radcliffe you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Radcliffe may ascertain 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.
