The lawyer who assisted with my former purchase has given a fee estimate £1200 for freehold conveyancing in Solva. I am selling a modern property for £275,000. This appears expensive. Is it above the norm for conveyancing in Solva?

I am buying a property in Solva. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Coventry BS be concerned?

Given that your lender is Coventry BS your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease does not comply with these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Solva.

I can not fathom if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Solva building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Solva conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?

Provided that the lawyer is on the bank approved list, they must comply with the CML Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

I have instructed a Solva lawyer having checked that they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Barclays will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Barclays will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Solva surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

I have a renovated Georgian property in Solva. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Birmingham Midshires. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. Is it worth asking Birmingham Midshires to clarify?

You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Solva and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.

What makes a Solva lease problematic?

Leasehold conveyancing in Solva is not unique. Most leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain clauses are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall

A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. HSBC Bank, The Royal Bank of Scotland, and Britannia all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to withdraw.

    Please note that where the lease has fewer than eighty years it will impact the value of the apartment. It is worth checking with your lender that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would be required to have owned the premises for a couple of years in order to be entitled to exercise a lease extension. How much is the ground rent and service charge?
