Is it the case that all Melbourn solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the HSBC approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Some mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be governed by the CLC.

I am purchasing a property in Melbourn. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. HSBC 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 HSBC your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to HSBC where a lease fails to meet these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Melbourn.

TSB have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Melbourn has been agreed to, now what?

Your property agent will want to be informed of your property lawyer's details (make sure the conveyancers are on the bank’s panel). Telephone TSB or the financial adviser and complete any relevant forms. TSB will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to arrange an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. TSB will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Melbourn.

four months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Melbourn concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Melbourn I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Melbourn in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
