We have agreed to purchase a house in Wellesbourne. 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 follow the conveyancing instructions outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to RBS where a lease does not comply with these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Wellesbourne.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Wellesbourne. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
My offer on a house in Wellesbourne has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Wellesbourne. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with HSBC?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Wellesbourne conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Regarding the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many purchasers would apply for a home loan with HSBC and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Wellesbourne.

I would like to sublet my leasehold flat in Wellesbourne. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Even though your previous Wellesbourne conveyancing lawyer is not around you can review your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the property. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to seek consent via your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet without prior consent. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord for their consent.

Best to be warned if redecorating or some other major work is due shortly that will be shared between the leasehold owners and will materially increase the the service charges or result in a one off payment.

My husband and I are acquiring a garden flat in Wellesbourne. At the point of instructing our lawyer, we were told they were on all mainstream lender panels. Our mortgage broker called just now to advise that they don't seem to be on the Co-operative approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Do we just pick a new solicitor that is on their panel or do we cover the costs for separate representation, with Co-operative selecting their own preferred solicitor.
When acquiring a property with mortgage finance it is conventional for the purchaser’s lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the property lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the conveyancer has to fulfill. Some building societies now insist their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your conveyancing practitioner should call Co-operative and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on Co-operative's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Wellesbourne lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
