Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Timsbury. Please clarify why all Timsbury solicitors are not on all lender panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for mortgage companies to limit who can act for them, from the public’s or solicitor’s viewpoint, the flip side is that banks are becoming ever more anxious and consider it crucial to protect them against mortgage fraud. As a result of this concern banks are limiting their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a manageable size.

I am the sole recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Timsbury. The Timsbury property was put into my name in April. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in April. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision is principally there to capture subsales or the flipping of properties.
I am buying a property in Timsbury. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Coventry BS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

The CML Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Timsbury.
About to purchase apartment in Timsbury.

The solicitors carrying out our conveyancing in Timsbury has forwarded papers to review that state the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not registred at HM Land Regsitry?
Although the vast majorities of properties in Timsbury are now registered with the Land Registry there are still a few that remain unregistered. Any property in Timsbury that has been purchased since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HM Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Timsbury property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Timsbury conveyancing lawyers should be capable of dealing with such matters but where uncertainty exists the standard recommendation these days appears to be for the current owners to address the registration formalities first and thereafter sell - this no doubt cause a significant delay.
