About to place a bid on a leasehold flat in Tintagel. The property agents say that it is the norm for flats in Tintagel to have less than 75 years remaining. I am taking out a mortgage with Tesco Bank. Will the property be mortgageable given that the lease has 70 years unexpired.

Is it the case that all Tintagel solicitor practices on the RBS conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the RBS approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority.

I am buying a property in Tintagel. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. RBS 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 RBS your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The CML Handbook includes minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to RBS where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Tintagel.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Virgin Money are being a right pain. The Tintagel solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Virgin Money are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Virgin Money have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Virgin Money have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Virgin Money may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Tintagel 4 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer should know exactly where to look for all the appropriate documentation so you can buy or dispose of your property without any difficulty. If duplicates are not available, your solicitor may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the property.
How does conveyancing in Tintagel differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Tintagel contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Tintagel tend to purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Tintagel or who has acted in the same development.
