Is it the case that all Ulceby CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Lloyds conveyancing list of approved practices?
It is true that some lenders now make use of CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Ulceby. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Santander have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Santander your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Santander. The CML Handbook contains minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Santander where a lease does not comply with these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Ulceby.
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 Ulceby building society branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Ulceby conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Your property lawyer has to comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
