We have agreed to purchase a house in Adderbury. An unusual 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 conveyancing requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS.

The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Adderbury.
How does conveyancing in Adderbury differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Adderbury contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Adderbury typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Adderbury or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Adderbury I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Adderbury suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Adderbury. Before I get started I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and most are in Adderbury - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

The best form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this arrangement the leaseholders benefit from control and although a managing agent is frequently retained where it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants.

In all likelihood there will be a ground rent to be met annual, normally this is not a large amount, say approximately £25-£75 but you need to check it because occasionally it could be many hundreds of pounds.
