I am purchasing a property in Basinghall. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Coventry BS be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Coventry BS your lawyer must check the formal requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS. The CML Handbook contains minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease does not satisfy these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Basinghall.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Leeds Building Society are being pedantic. The Basinghall solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Leeds Building Society are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society 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.

How does conveyancing in Basinghall differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Basinghall approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Basinghall usually acquire the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Basinghall or who has acted in the same development.
We have today had an offer accepted on our 1st home in Basinghall, and are now looking to get solicitors lined up. I have utilised the various comparison tools and the results are from all across the England and Wales. Is it important to have a Basinghall property lawyer local to your potential new home?

The solicitor does not need to be in Basinghall, but opting for local means that you have the option to attend their offices if needed, by way of example, if a signature is immediately necessary. Also, a Basinghall solicitor have established relationships with local agents and (if the vendor has chosen a local conveyancing practitioner) with them, which should help keep things moving faster.
