An auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding legal set of papers. This should include most,if not all of the documents that your solicitor will need.

I am buying a property in Woking. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Aldermore be concerned?

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Aldermore your lawyer must check the formal instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Aldermore. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Aldermore where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Woking.

Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Woking. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Woking conveyancer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.

My wife and I have a semi-detached Victorian property in Woking. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Barnsley Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Woking and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.

I opted to have a survey done on a house in Woking in advance of retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will not grant a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions from Halifax. If you contact us we can check with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Woking. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
