I am buying a property in Yiewsley. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Santander 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 Santander your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Santander. The CML Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Santander where a lease fails to meet these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Yiewsley.

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 Santander, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Yiewsley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Yiewsley come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because house builders in Yiewsley tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Yiewsley or who has acted in the same development.

I have just appointed agents to market my basement apartment in Yiewsley. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just had a half-yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the service charge as normal given that all rents and maintenance payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
