We have agreed to purchase a house in Burgess Hill. An unusual 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 you are obtaining a mortgage with Aldermore your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Aldermore. The CML Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Aldermore where a lease does not satisfy these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Burgess Hill.
