Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with UBS your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to UBS where a lease does not meet these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Bedfont.

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
