I am purchasing a property in Trowbridge. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Yorkshire BS be concerned?
As your lender is Yorkshire BS your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Trowbridge.

Our offer on a semi in Trowbridge has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Trowbridge. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Skipton started?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Trowbridge conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Skipton approved list. Concerning the next phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some purchasers will apply for a home loan with Skipton and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Trowbridge.
It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Trowbridge took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Trowbridge is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Trowbridge are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Trowbridge you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Trowbridge may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
