I am purchasing a property in Ystalyfera. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Kent Reliance 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 your lender is Kent Reliance your lawyer must follow the formal instructions contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease does not satisfy these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Ystalyfera.
We were going to get a AIP from Clydesdale this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Clydesdale recommend any Ystalyfera solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Ystalyfera solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Clydesdale through the process.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Principality. Is it usual for Principality to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Ystalyfera is approved on their conveyancing panel? Principality have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Principality to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Principality conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I am selling our house in Ystalyfera and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Ystalyfera lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Ystalyfera. We have lived in Ystalyfera for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

I acquired a house in Ystalyfera last 28/5/2024 and to date it is still not recorded with the Land Registry. It is part of a new estate and my conveyancer told me that it can take twelve months to register. I have contacted HMLR directly and they say that the original application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Do I need to be concerned?
