is it true that all Chatham solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Aldermore approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be overseen by the CLC.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Chatham. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Santander be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Santander your lawyer must follow the formal requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Santander. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Santander where a lease does not comply with these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Chatham.
We were going to get a AIP from TSB this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Chatham solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Chatham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.
We are downsizing from our home in Chatham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Chatham conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Chatham. We have lived in Chatham for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

The 1954 Act provides protection to commercial leaseholders, granting the right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease.
