My mortgage broker requires my Aston on Trent solicitor’s panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. What is the best way to obtain this. I have contacted my local Aston on Trent office but they cant find it on their system.

My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Aston on Trent. I I am struggling to find out whether they are accepted on the Coventry Building Society conveyancing panel. Could you advise?

This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Aston on Trent. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Aston on Trent?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.

We previously instructed conveyancing lawyers located in Aston on Trent on the Lloyds solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me an additional sum for handling the Lloyds mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Lloyds?

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Lloyds but by your Aston on Trent lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Lloyds panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Aston on Trent. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Co-operative 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 Co-operative your lawyer must follow the formal requirements set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Co-operative. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Co-operative where a lease fails to satisfy these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Aston on Trent.
