We have agreed to purchase a house in Cradley Heath. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Santander be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Santander your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Santander. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Santander where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Cradley Heath.
I have paid off my mortgage with Nationwide. I assume I don't need a Cradley Heath conveyancing practitioner on the Nationwide panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Nationwide mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Nationwide mortgage from the register. Nationwide, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Nationwide has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nationwide has instructed the Land Registry to do so

The particular law that you refer to gives a safeguard to commercial leaseholders, granting the right to make a request to court for a new lease and remain in occupation at the end of the lease term.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we use their chosen solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Cradley Heath
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your preferred Cradley Heath conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.
