You have limited options available to you. As you are taking a home loan with a bank your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Walkden conveyancing searches.

We are purchasing a house in Walkden. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to send funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Walkden. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Virgin Money 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 you are obtaining a mortgage with Virgin Money your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Virgin Money. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Virgin Money where a lease does not meet these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Walkden.

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Walkden. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £225.
