I am buying a property in Bourne. An 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?

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Leeds Building Society your lawyer must check the formal requirements set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society.

I had an offer accepted on a house in Bourne on 22/10/2024, valuation was booked five days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to TSB and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel. Are TSB entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for TSB to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the TSB conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Almost all properties in Bourne should be revealed. Have you tried a search with just the postcode. Ordinarily it will disclose all the properties inside the postcode. Assuming the property is recorded it will be there with a title number. Where they bought 48 years ago it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The address may still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title papers which may be with your parent’s bank.
