A selection of lenders now use CQS as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance.

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Leeds Building Society your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease does not meet these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Beadnell.

All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office.
