We chose a high street firm for our conveyancing in Maltby recently. Looking through the terms of engagement I noteI am on the hook for fees even if the dealfalls through. Should I go with them or appoint a web based conveyancing company advertising no completion no cost conveyancing in Maltby?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to counteract the conveyances that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that these promotions generally do not cover expenses by way of example Maltby conveyancing search expenses.
I am buying a property in Maltby. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Skipton be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Skipton your lawyer must check the formal requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Skipton where a lease fails to comply with these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Maltby.
We were going to get a AIP from UBS 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 UBS recommend any Maltby solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Maltby solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Maltby I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Maltby in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
