We have agreed to purchase a house in Wynyard. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender UBS be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with UBS your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to UBS where a lease fails to satisfy these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Wynyard.
I have paid off my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Wynyard property lawyer on the Yorkshire BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire BS 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 Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register. Yorkshire BS, 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:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Yorkshire BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Yorkshire BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Wynyard prior to instructing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to give a loan on such a premises.

We are expecting to exchange buying a property in Wynyard but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have negotiated reparation from the vendor of £2k taking the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet the bank will not agree to this. Why were they involved?
Your property lawyer that is on the bank approved list is obliged to advise the bank of any amendments to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the reduction to your lender then they would have no choice but to disinstructing themselves from acting for you and the mortgage company.
