We decided to purchase a purpose built apartment in Tibshelf with a mortgage from Virgin Money.We have a Tibshelf conveyancing practitioner but Virgin Money informed us her practice is not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Virgin Money panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will be on the Virgin Money approved list. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Virgin Money
Is it the case that all Tibshelf CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?
Some major banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their panels.
I am purchasing a property in Tibshelf. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Kent Reliance be concerned?
As your lender is Kent Reliance your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The CML Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease does not meet these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Tibshelf.
It is unclear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Tibshelf building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Tibshelf conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Your solicitor has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 remaining.
I got the keys to my home on 14 April and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Tibshelf expressed confidence that it will be formalised in less than a month. Are titles in Tibshelf particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Tibshelf registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the purchaser is living at the property so post completion formalities is not usually top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

In relation to leasehold conveyancing in Tibshelf what are the most common lease problems?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Tibshelf. Most leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain provisions are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage
A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property.

If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, forcing the purchaser to withdraw.
