We have agreed to purchase a house in High Wycombe. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Barclays have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Barclays your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Barclays where a lease does not meet these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to High Wycombe.
Have completed on a a terraced house in High Wycombe , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My High Wycombe conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in High Wycombe is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs once the purchaser is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in High Wycombe I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in High Wycombe suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
