I am buying a property in Heckmondwike. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. UBS 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 UBS your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to UBS where a lease does not satisfy these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Heckmondwike.
