We have agreed to purchase a house in Tadcaster. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Lloyds 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 Lloyds your lawyer must follow the formal instructions contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds. The CML Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Lloyds where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Tadcaster.

I want to let out my leasehold flat in Tadcaster. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?

Some leases for properties in Tadcaster do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

Builders have recommended to me a conveyancer and I've received a quote from them. They are almost £300 cheaper than my family Tadcaster conveyancing practitioner. What's the catch?

Builders often have lists of solicitors who are quick and who know the builder's paperwork and conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to choose a preferred conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer will not put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they demand an exchange inside a month. The argument for not opting for the recommended solicitor is that they may prove unwilling to fight for your interests for fear of alienating the housebuilder. If you worry that this may be the case you should remain with your high street Tadcaster conveyancing practitioner.
