Why do I have to pay up front for conveyancing in Gowerton?

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with TSB. Gowerton conveyancing practitioners are appointed. How long does it take for TSB to forward the offer to the conveyancer?

There is no definitive answer here. Have TSB done the survey? Have you advised TSB as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the TSB conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

I am buying a property in Gowerton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Bank of Ireland be concerned?

As your lender is Bank of Ireland your lawyer must check the formal requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease does not meet these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Gowerton.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct their recommended solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Gowerton

We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your preferred Gowerton conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will provide their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures set by head office.
