The best person to deal with your question is your solicitors who will hopefully assess if they should be discussing with the lender, owner’s solicitors, estate agents or possibly all parties given the history of your conveyancing as of today.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Benllech. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Principality be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Principality your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Principality where a lease does not comply with these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Benllech.
The mortgage over my property is with Co-operative for my property in Benllech. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Co-operative?
Your original mortgage agreement with Co-operative will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Co-operative’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Co-operative will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Co-operative directly. You need not do this via a Co-operative conveyancing panel firm.
I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Benllech building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Benllech conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The conveyancing practitioner has to follow the CML Handbook Part 2 conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
