I am buying a property in Isle of Sheppey. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. TSB 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 you are obtaining a mortgage with TSB your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to TSB where a lease does not meet these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Isle of Sheppey.
