I am purchasing a property in Ardwick. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. TSB 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 TSB your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The CML Handbook includes minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to TSB where a lease does not satisfy these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Ardwick.
How does conveyancing in Ardwick differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Ardwick contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Ardwick usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Ardwick or who has acted in the same development.
