I am purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Greystones. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will legal investigations on the property involve checks to determine if these works are allowed?

I am buying a property in Greystones. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Barclays have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As your lender is Barclays your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays. The CML Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Barclays where a lease does not comply with these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Greystones.
