Your solicitor should review the registered title as conveyancing in Pattingham will on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of changes or require the consent of a 3rd party. Many additions need local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
I am purchasing a property in Pattingham. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Coventry BS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Coventry BS your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease does not satisfy these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Pattingham.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Nationwide are being difficult. The Pattingham solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Nationwide are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I am selling our home in Pattingham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Pattingham lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Pattingham. Having lived in Pattingham for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Pattingham I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Pattingham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
