I am purchasing a property in Mexborough. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Co-operative be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Co-operative your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Co-operative. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Co-operative where a lease does not meet these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Mexborough.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Mexborough property lawyer having checked that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Mexborough surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Why am I unable to complete our conveyancing in Mexborough on a bank holiday?
Because on completion the money will be transferred electronically between the banks of the buyer and owner’s lawyer and currently this can only occur on a business day. It is not possible to complete on a saturday or sunday either.
