I am purchasing a property in Battlesbridge. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Skipton be concerned?
As your lender is Skipton your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Barclays. Is it usual for Barclays to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Battlesbridge is approved on their conveyancing panel? Barclays have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

Our sealed bid on a property in Battlesbridge has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats booked. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Battlesbridge. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with TSB started?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Battlesbridge conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of home buyers will apply for the mortgage with TSB and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Battlesbridge.
