My husband and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from Coventry BS as we wish to carry out a loft conversion to our house in Coningsby. Are we obliged to select a bricks and mortar Coningsby solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Coventry BS your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS. The CML Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Coningsby.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.

Am I right to be suspicious by brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Coningsby conveyancing firm?

As with many professional services, often input from connections can be most helpful.

On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there exists a commercial relationship behind the recommendation.
