My conveyancer has identified a a problem with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Stanford Le Hope. The seller’s lawyers have suggested title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our property lawyer has advised that he must ensure that the lender is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. You and the mortgage company are the client. The appropriate lender conditions must be adhered to.

I am purchasing a property in Stanford Le Hope. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. UBS 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 UBS your lawyer must follow the formal instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to UBS where a lease does not comply with these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Stanford Le Hope.

It would be wise to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Aldermore, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
