We have agreed to purchase a house in Claverley. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Yorkshire BS be concerned?
As your lender is Yorkshire BS your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The CML Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease does not satisfy these requirements.

The estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancers are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Lloyds or your broker and complete any appropriate documentation.
