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

Given that your lender is UBS your lawyer must follow the formal requirements contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to UBS where a lease fails to comply with these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Rhuddlan.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Yorkshire BS are being a right pain. The Rhuddlan solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Yorkshire BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Clydesdale have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a flat in Rhuddlan has been accepted, what are the next steps?

Your property agent will want to be informed of your solicitor's details (ensure that the conveyancers are on the lender’s panel). Call up Clydesdale or your broker and complete any outstanding paperwork. Clydesdale will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to book a time for the valuation to happen. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days to receive the mortgage offer. Clydesdale will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Rhuddlan.

I have recentlyfound out that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Rhuddlan for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest method to see if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Rhuddlan conveyancing specialists.

Is it best to use a Rhuddlan conveyancing lawyer based in the area that I am hoping to buy? An old friend can handle the legal work however his firm is located 200miles drive away.

The primary upside of using a local Rhuddlan conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to sign paperwork, deliver your ID and pester them if necessary. Having local Rhuddlan know how is a plus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and the majority were impressed that should trump using an unknown Rhuddlan conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.

Is there a reason that Rhuddlan conveyancing fees are higher for leasehold and freehold properties?

Inevitably there is increased work required in leasehold conveyancing. Rhuddlan has many leasehold properties. There is more time involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including up to date service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance details) obtained from the freeholder or managing agents. There are strict criteria that the lease must meet in order to be acceptable to a mortgage company. If it does not meet these requirements, the lease must be amended, which can involve additional expense for the seller.
