IfI were to buy a straightforward propertyin Rhoose mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Rhoose?

I am purchasing a property in Rhoose. 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?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Skipton your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Skipton where a lease fails to meet these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Rhoose.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, UBS are being problematic. The Rhoose solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but UBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Where duplicates are not available, your solicitor may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the property.

I am attracted to a two apartments in Rhoose which have about forty five years unexpired on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There are plenty of short leases in Rhoose. The lease is a right to use the property for a period of time. As a lease gets shorter the value of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is advisable to increase the term of the lease.
