We have agreed to purchase a house in Rowen. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Barclays be concerned?
Given that your lender is Barclays your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Barclays where a lease does not comply with these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Rowen.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Rowen. I have a mortgage agreed with Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
Nottingham have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a apartment in Rowen has been accepted, now what?
The property agent will need to be advised as to your solicitor's details (make sure the conveyancers are on the lender’s panel). Telephone Nottingham or the broker and finish off any relevant paperwork. Nottingham will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to arrange an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Nottingham will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Rowen.
I need some expedited conveyancing in Rowen as I have a deadline to complete within one month. Luckily I do not need a mortgage. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?
As you are not getting a home loan you are at free not to have searches conducted although no law firm would recommend that you don't.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Rowen with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Rowen I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Rowen for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
