We're in Llanwrda, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Lloyds , and our solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

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

As your lender is Leeds Building Society your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The CML Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease does not meet these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Llanwrda.

I currently have a mortgage with TSB for my property in Llanwrda. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. Should I wish 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 TSB?

Your original mortgage agreement with TSB will provide that you need their approval prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’s mortgage conditions. It may be that TSB 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 TSB directly. You need not do this via a TSB conveyancing panel lawyer.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, UBS are being a right pain. The Llanwrda solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but UBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS 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 read on various consumer advice websites that when choosing a conveyancing firm they must be approved by your bank. This is my first home move but I have an offer in principle from Birmingham Midhshires and I already have a high street conveyancing solicitor in Llanwrda on standby. Does Santander insist on an approved lawyer to be used? If so, where can I find that list for my conveyancing in Llanwrda?

You need to use a solicitor that is on the Santander panel. Simply call your chosen Llanwrda conveyancing solicitor to check if they are on the Santander panel. If they are not on the panel you have a number of alternatives open to you here:

• Proceed with your chosen Llanwrda lawyer but Santander will no doubt instruct a property lawyer on their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional fees together with potential delay.
• Choose a new solicitor to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Santander conveyancing panel.
• Convince your property lawyer to pull out all the stops to join the Santander conveyancing panel.
