Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Rugeley. My lender is The Mortgage Works
The Mortgage Works have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 13/12/2024, the requirements read as follows :
We have agreed to purchase a house in Rugeley. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Yorkshire BS be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Yorkshire BS your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The CML Handbook includes minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease fails to satisfy these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Rugeley.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Rugeley property lawyer on the Yorkshire BS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register. Yorkshire BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Yorkshire BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Yorkshire BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so

Will my solicitor be making enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Rugeley.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Rugeley. Plenty of people will acquire a house in Rugeley, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that can be initiated by the buyer or by their conveyancers which will figure out the risks in Rugeley. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the vendor to discover if the property has historically flooded. If the premises has been flooded in past which is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser may commence a legal claim for losses resulting from an misleading answer. A buyer’s solicitors should also carry out an environmental search. This should disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be carried out.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Rugeley is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Rugeley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Rugeley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rugeley may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
