We have agreed to purchase a house in Shenfield. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Yorkshire BS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Yorkshire BS your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The CML Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease does not satisfy these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Shenfield.
I have paid off my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a Shenfield conveyancer on the Virgin Money panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, 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 Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Virgin Money has instructed the Land Registry to do so

What advice can you give us when it comes to appointing a Shenfield conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?

I am the registered owner of a garden flat in Shenfield, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2011. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent flats in Shenfield with a long lease are worth £180,000. The ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2085
You have 59 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £20,900 and £24,200 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
