We have agreed to purchase a house in Goffs Oak. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Leeds Building Society be concerned?
Given that your lender is Leeds Building Society your lawyer must check the formal instructions contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society.

It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Goffs Oak bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Goffs Oak conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
The conveyancer must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two specifications for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am purchasing a new build house in Goffs Oak with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could impact my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
