A selection of lenders now use the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Broadway. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Nottingham 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 you are obtaining a mortgage with Nottingham your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nottingham. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Nottingham where a lease fails to comply with these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Broadway.

What makes a Broadway lease unmortgageable?
Leasehold conveyancing in Broadway is not unique. All leases are individual and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain clauses are not included. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall A provision to repair to or maintain parts of the property
A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Accord Mortgages Ltd, Bank of Scotland, and Platform Home Loans Ltd all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to pull out.
I acquired a basement flat in Broadway, conveyancing formalities finalised May 2008. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Broadway with an extended lease are worth £202,000. The ground rent is £60 invoiced annually. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2081
With just 56 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £29,500 and £34,000 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
