We have agreed to purchase a house in Whitchurch. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Aldermore be concerned?
As your lender is Aldermore your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Aldermore. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Aldermore where a lease does not comply with these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Whitchurch.
We were going to get a AIP from Kent Reliance this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Kent Reliance recommend any Whitchurch solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Whitchurch solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Virgin Money are being problematic. The Whitchurch solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Virgin Money are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Virgin Money have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Virgin Money have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Virgin Money may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Whitchurch 5 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?

If duplicates are not available, your lawyer can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the premises.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Whitchurch. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Whitchurch
-
Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
Am I better off to choose a Whitchurch conveyancing solicitor in close proximity to the house I am buying? An old friend can conduct the conveyancing however her office is 400kilometers away.
The benefit of a high street Whitchurch conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to execute documents, deliver your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and they were happy that should surpass using an unfamiliar Whitchurch conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.
