They may both also deal with associated property related work such as remortgage conveyancing, lease extensions and transfer of equity conveyancing.

We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from TSB as we want to carry out alterations to our house in Pevensey Bay. Are we obliged to select a nearby Pevensey Bay solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

TSB do not ordinarily require firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the TSB list.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Pevensey Bay. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Bank of Ireland have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Bank of Ireland your lawyer must check the formal instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Pevensey Bay.

How does conveyancing in Pevensey Bay differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Pevensey Bay come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Pevensey Bay tend to 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 conveyancers 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 Pevensey Bay or who has acted in the same development.

I was recommended by three or four local property agents in Pevensey Bay to locate a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to make any financial incentive for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

My husband and I plan to buy our first property in Pevensey Bay. Conveyancing lawyer has been selected. The financial consultant advised that a survey is not needed as the property was only built 22 years ago.

At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. As the residence was constructed over a decade ago the property will not come with a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could suffice. They will highlight any apparent issues and suggest additional investigation if relevant. If there are any signs of problems obtain a full Building Survey from the beginning.
