Does a directory service exist listing Kent Reliance panel solicitors in Rhayader on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

No. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few banks make their panel listings viewable over the internet. Where you are seeking to appoint a Rhayader solicitor on the Kent Reliance please use our facility.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Rhayader. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Principality 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 Principality your lawyer must check the formal requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Principality where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Rhayader.

The deeds to my property can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Rhayader 5 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?

As with many professional services, often input from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are numerous players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders may put forward solicitors to retain. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to appoint your preferred conveyancer. Don't forget that most mortgage providers operate an approved list of lawyers you must use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Rhayader. I happened to stumble upon a site which appears to be the perfect offering If there is a chance to get all formalities done via email that would be preferable. Do I need to be concerned? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
