Souldretaining a Cherry Burton conveyancing practitioner make my purchase more efficient?

We have not been informed any plans on the part of the BSA to develop such a register.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Cherry Burton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Coventry BS 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 your lender is Coventry BS your lawyer must follow the formal requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS. The CML Handbook contains minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Cherry Burton.
I have a mortgage with Santander for my property in Cherry Burton. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. In the event that I decide 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 Santander?
Santander must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Santander’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies 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 Santander directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Santander conveyancing panel lawyer.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Barclays. Is it usual for Barclays to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Cherry Burton is approved on their conveyancing panel? Barclays have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Barclays to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
