We have agreed to purchase a house in Camberley. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Virgin Money be concerned?
As your lender is Virgin Money your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Virgin Money. The CML Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Virgin Money where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Camberley.
Nottingham have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a apartment in Camberley has been accepted, what are the next steps?
Your estate agent will want to be advised as to your conveyancing practitioner's details (make sure the property lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Nottingham or your financial adviser and complete any appropriate paperwork. Nottingham will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or vendor to schedule a time for the valuation to happen. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a week to get a mortgage offer. Nottingham will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Camberley.
I have finally had an offer on a flat in Camberley agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Camberley. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Camberley conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancer is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. As to the next steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some purchasers will apply for a home loan with Leeds Building Society and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Camberley.
The deeds to my house are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Camberley 10 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?

How does conveyancing in Camberley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Camberley come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because builders in Camberley usually purchase 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 Camberley or who has acted in the same development.
