Some major banks and building societies now use CQS as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Virginia Water. An unusual 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 your lender is RBS your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to RBS where a lease fails to meet these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Virginia Water.

I have instructed a Virginia Water solicitor having made sure that they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Aldermore will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Aldermore will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Virginia Water postcode.

If all goes to plan we aim to complete the sale of our £200,000 apartment in Virginia Water next Friday. The landlords agents has quoted £312 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a flat conveyance in Virginia Water?

Virginia Water conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes normally necessitates the buyer’s lawyer submitting questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to address these enquiries the majority will be content to assist.

The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it exceeds £800.

I acquired a leasehold flat in Virginia Water, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent properties in Virginia Water with an extended lease are worth £179,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2082

With 57 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £26,600 and £30,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
