This question may be naive but I am new to the house moving as FTB of a garden flat in Beaworthy. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Beaworthy?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Beaworthy. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Nottingham be concerned?
As your lender is Nottingham your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nottingham. The CML Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Nottingham where a lease fails to comply with these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Beaworthy.

Shortly after, the lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nottingham panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

At this site get an accurate quote from a Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer that understands the nuances of your conveyancing in Beaworthy. Unlike many estate agents and brokerage sites we do not charge firms a commission if you appoint them for your home move in Beaworthy
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct the agent's recommended solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Beaworthy
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Beaworthy conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by corporate headquarters.

Please note that where the lease has less than eighty years it will impact the salability of the property. Check with your bank that they are happy with residual term of the lease. A short lease means that you will almost definitely require a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this will be. Remember, in most cases you will be required to have been the owner of the property for two years in order to be entitled to exercise a lease extension. Who are the managing agents? Are any of leasehold owners in dispute over their service charge payments?
