Given that your lender is UBS your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to UBS where a lease fails to comply with these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Aldermanbury.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Aldermanbury lawyer having checked that they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Bank of Ireland will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Bank of Ireland 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. Your conveyancer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Aldermanbury postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Aldermanbury.
Nationwide have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a property in Aldermanbury has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
Your estate agent will need to be advised as to your conveyancer's details (make sure the solicitors are on the lender’s panel). Call up Nationwide or the financial adviser and finish off any relevant forms. Nationwide will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to schedule a time for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days to get a mortgage offer. Nationwide will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Aldermanbury.
