I am buying a property in Baguley. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Aldermore 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 Aldermore your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Aldermore. The CML Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Aldermore where a lease does not comply with these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Baguley.

In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
