I am buying a property in Whitwick. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Kent Reliance be concerned?

Given that your lender is Kent Reliance your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease does not comply with these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Whitwick.

I am expecting a DIP from Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money recommend any Whitwick solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Whitwick solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Virgin Money through the process.

I have paid off my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Whitwick conveyancing practitioner on the Bank of Ireland panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

1. but are not moving to another property
2. where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so

The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Bank of Ireland mortgage has been paid off.
