The conveyancing charges on a leasehold premises in Flamborough is often more expensive than on a freehold property.

I am being advised by my conveyancer that chancel insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Flamborough conveyancing?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Flamborough. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Barclays have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Barclays your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Barclays where a lease fails to meet these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Flamborough.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Flamborough. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £175. Not long after, the lawyer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the UBS 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 UBS 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.
