We have agreed to purchase a house in Kentish Town. One 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 your lender is UBS your lawyer must follow the formal requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to UBS where a lease does not comply with these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Kentish Town.

You will need to appoint Kentish Town solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.
