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

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Santander your lawyer must check the formal requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Santander. The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Santander where a lease fails to meet these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Somerstown.

My wife and I are in the process of looking at flats in Somerstown and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancer appointed at this point? I intend to finance via a home loan with Barclays.

You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP.

Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Barclays, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.

Our sealed bid on a house in Somerstown has been accepted, the owners do however have a dependent purchase. The owners have put an offer on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Somerstown. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Principality started?

It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Somerstown conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Principality conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of buyers will apply for a home loan with Principality and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to proceed with the conveyancing in Somerstown.

I am downsizing from our property in Somerstown and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Somerstown lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Somerstown. We have lived in Somerstown for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

I have todaybecome aware that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Somerstown for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Somerstown conveyancing specialists.

I am using a search engine for the term on line conveyancing in Somerstown it shows results of many solicitorsin the vicinity. How do I determine which is the suitable property lawyer for my move?

The preferential way of finding a suitable conveyancer is through a personal recommendation, so ask colleagues and family who have purchased a property in Somerstown or a reputable estate agent or financial adviser.
