I am in need of a property lawyer. Should I go for for a web based conveyancer as opposed to a high street St Giles conveyancing solicitor?

I am purchasing a property in St Giles. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. HSBC have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with HSBC your lawyer must check the formal requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to HSBC where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to St Giles.

Planning on purchasing a flat in St Giles. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the St Giles lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by UBS. Is it usual for UBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in St Giles is approved on their conveyancing panel? UBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for UBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the UBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
