I am purchasing a property in Longfield. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease does not meet these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Longfield.

How does conveyancing in Longfield differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Longfield come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Longfield tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Longfield or who has acted in the same development.
