Can you point me to a directory of Coventry BS panel conveyancers in Horsforth on the Building Society Association’s Website?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Horsforth. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Leeds Building Society have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Leeds Building Society your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Horsforth.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Bank of Ireland. Is it usual for Bank of Ireland to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Horsforth is approved on their conveyancing panel? Bank of Ireland have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I am purchasing my first flat in Horsforth with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it could put at risk my mortgage with Barnsley Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Horsforth I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Horsforth in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
