We have agreed to purchase a house in Langley. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Aldermore be concerned?
As your lender is Aldermore your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Aldermore. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Aldermore where a lease fails to meet these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Langley.

You will need to appoint Langley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nottingham through the process.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Langley I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Langley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
