All was ready to move into my new home in Headington next Monday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the mortgage company. What does the insurance need to cover?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Headington. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Co-operative 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 Co-operative your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Co-operative. The CML Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Co-operative where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Headington.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Co-operative are being difficult. The Headington solicitor who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Co-operative are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Co-operative have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Co-operative have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Co-operative may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
