We selected a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Wollaton today. Reviewing the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatI am on the hook for charges even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to select an on-line firm who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Wollaton?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to offset the transactions that abort. You should be mindful that these schemes generally do not cover expenses by way of example Wollaton conveyancing search expenses.

We previously instructed conveyancers with offices in Wollaton on the Kent Reliance solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for the legal aspects of the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Kent Reliance?

Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor can levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Kent Reliance but by your Wollaton solicitor. Numerous firms on the Kent Reliance panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Wollaton. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance your lawyer must check the formal instructions set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease does not comply with these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Wollaton.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. 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.
