Is it the case that all Roker conveyancing solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Roker. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Co-operative 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 Co-operative your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Co-operative. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Co-operative where a lease does not satisfy these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Roker.
I'm remortgaging my primary home to a BTL mortgage with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society and I will use the rest of the raised equity towards another house.

Make use of our search tool on this page to check that the lawyers are approved by both mortgage companies. On the basis that they are your conveyancer should be able to simultaneously deal with the two transactions but you should have a chat with you conveyancer and make apparent your expectations and requirements.
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent told us that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct their recommended solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Roker
We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Roker conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by corporate headquarters.
Jane (my partner) and I may need to let out our Roker garden flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Roker conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Roker do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
