I am buying a property in Rothley. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Leeds Building Society be concerned?

As your lender is Leeds Building Society your lawyer must check the formal instructions contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Rothley.

At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Rothley agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Rothley. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Barclays?

It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Rothley conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. As to the next steps this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some home buyers will apply for a home loan with Barclays and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to press on with searches.

Given that I will soon part with 450k on 3 bedroom house in Rothley I would like to talk to a lawyer about myhome move before giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

This is something that we recommend - we would be delighted to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the solicitor due to be doing your conveyancing in Rothley.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important individual, not a matter reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for residential conveyancing in Rothley should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Rothley

We suspect that the seller is not behind this demand. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Rothley conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures set by senior management.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Rothley from the perspective of expediting the sale process?

  • Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Rothley can be avoided where you get in touch lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ solicitors.
  • In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Rothley leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such changes. Where you fail to have the approvals to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your solicitor in advance. If you are supposed to have a share in the freehold, you should make sure that you hold the original share certificate. Obtaining a re-issued share certificate can be a time consuming process and frustrates many a Rothley conveyancing deal. If a reissued share certificate is necessary, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (where applicable) for this as soon as possible. Some Rothley leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors.
