I am purchasing a property in Ladbroke Grove. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Bank of Ireland have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Bank of Ireland your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease does not meet these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Ladbroke Grove.
I can not fathom if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Ladbroke Grove building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Ladbroke Grove conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the bank panel, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I have todaybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Ladbroke Grove for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

I have been recommended by a number of selling agents in Ladbroke Grove to choose a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your lawyers over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t give any referral fee for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
