I am purchasing a property in Liss. 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 you are obtaining a mortgage with UBS your lawyer must check the formal requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to UBS where a lease does not meet these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Liss.
The mortgage over my property is with Leeds Building Society for my property in Liss. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Leeds Building Society?
You must advise Leeds Building Society prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Leeds Building Society’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Leeds Building Society directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel firm.
