Having legally bound yourself to purchase you should instruct a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you will have a pending deadline in which to complete the transaction. Every auction property should have an associated legal pack. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. In the case of leasehold premises the auction pack should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to leasehold premises.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Welwyn Garden City. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Lloyds 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 Lloyds your lawyer must check the formal requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds. The CML Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Lloyds where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Welwyn Garden City.

Do I need to be suspicious about brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Welwyn Garden City conveyancing practice?

As with lots of professional services, often referrals from relatives can be most helpful. Nevertheless there are numerous parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may suggest conveyancers to appoint. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there exists a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the right to appoint your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that many mortgage providers have an approved list of law firms you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your transaction.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Welwyn Garden City

It is unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to use your preferred Welwyn Garden City conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.
