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

Given that your lender is Nationwide your lawyer must follow the formal requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nationwide. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Nationwide where a lease does not satisfy these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Yaxley.

I currently have a mortgage with Principality for my property in Yaxley. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Principality?

Principality must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Principality will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Principality directly. You need not do this via a Principality conveyancing panel solicitor.

Co-operative have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a property in Yaxley has been agreed to, what happens next?

The property agent will wish to be informed of your property lawyer's details (be sure the property lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Co-operative or the financial adviser and finalise any appropriate documentation. Co-operative will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or vendor to book a time for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week to get a mortgage offer. Co-operative will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Yaxley.

Inbuilt into the Solicitors Code of Conduct are set rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their fees to clients.The Law Society have a practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not intended as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, however, represent the Law Society’s perspective of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Yaxley or or elsewhere in the country.
