We have agreed to purchase a house in Aylestone. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Coventry BS be concerned?

Given that your lender is Coventry BS your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS. The CML Handbook contains minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease does not satisfy these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Aylestone.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Virgin Money are being a right pain. The Aylestone solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Virgin Money are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Virgin Money have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Virgin Money have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Virgin Money may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Aylestone I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Aylestone for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you.

Am I best advised to go with a Aylestone conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can carry out the legal formalities however her office is over three hundred kilometers drive away.

The primary upside of using a local Aylestone conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and on the whole were happy that must trump using an unfamiliar Aylestone conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being Aylestone based.

A couple of weeks ago I was told by my lender that their panel solicitors operate no sale no fee basis for conveyancing in Aylestone. My purchase fell through nevertheless the conveyancers want search fees! They are stating that the fees are seperate!

By offering "no sale no fee" Aylestone conveyancing lawyers are waiving their fees for any work conducted. We should make it clear that this does not constitute an insurance scheme. you will still be expected to reimburse any disbursements that the conveyancer has incurred on your behalf for instance Aylestone local authority searches
