Some major banks and building societies now make use of CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Dulverton. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. RBS 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 RBS your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to RBS where a lease does not satisfy these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Dulverton.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Dulverton solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
