Is there a list of Aldermore panel conveyancers in Rochford on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings viewable online. If you are looking for a Rochford property lawyer on the Aldermore please make the most of our facility.

I am buying a property in Rochford. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Virgin Money. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Virgin Money where a lease fails to comply with these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Rochford.

My wife and I have a renovated Victorian house in Rochford. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Skipton Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Rochford and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Rochford with a mortgage from Clydesdale. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Finally our conveyancing in Rochford completes this Friday, yet the couple I am purchasing off has asked to move out 24 hours later at midday. Should I agree to this?

Where you need a loan then your conveyancer will insist that the premises arevacant on Friday - the bank will demand it.
