We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Clydesdale as we want to carry out renovations to our home in Sneyd Green. Do we need to appoint a nearby Sneyd Green solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

Clydesdale do not ordinarily appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Clydesdale list.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Sneyd Green. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. RBS 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 you are obtaining a mortgage with RBS your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to RBS where a lease does not satisfy these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Sneyd Green.

About to purchase flat in Sneyd Green. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Sneyd Green lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.

I completed on my flat on 10 October and the transaction details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Sneyd Green expressed confidence that it should be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Sneyd Green particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Sneyd Green is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.

I have been recommended by three or four local property agents in Sneyd Green to select a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers over and above another?

We refuse to make any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
