We have agreed to purchase a house in Woodbridge. A rare 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 you are obtaining a mortgage with RBS your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to RBS where a lease does not satisfy these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Woodbridge.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Woodbridge. I have a mortgage offer with TSB. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel.

As is the case with lots of professional services, often input from connections can be very helpful.

On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there exists a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to appoint your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that many mortgage providers specify a panel list of law firms you must use for the mortgage related work in your home move.
