We have agreed to purchase a house in Aldeburgh. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Kent Reliance have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Kent Reliance your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease does not meet these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Aldeburgh.
My offer was accepted on a house in Aldeburgh on 21/10/2025, valuation was booked 4 days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Skipton and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Skipton to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

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, no chain conveyancing. Aldeburgh is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Aldeburgh you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Aldeburgh 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 property.

Most Aldeburgh leasehold apartments will be liable to pay a service bill for the upkeep of the block levied by the management company. Where you purchase the flat you will have to meet this contribution, normally in instalments accross the year. This can be anything from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for blocks with lifts and large common grounds. In all probability there will be a ground rent to be met yearly, this is usually not a exorbitant figure, say about £25-£75 but you need to enquire as sometimes it could be prohibitively expensive. How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their service charge payments? The best form of lease arrangement is if the freehold interest is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this situation the leaseholders have control and notwithstanding that a managing agent is usually employed if it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants.
