We have agreed to purchase a house in Malden Rushett. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. HSBC 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 HSBC your lawyer must follow the formal requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to HSBC where a lease does not meet these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Malden Rushett.

How does conveyancing in Malden Rushett differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Malden Rushett come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Malden Rushett typically purchase the land, 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Malden Rushett or who has acted in the same development.
What is the reason for new build conveyancing in Malden Rushett being more expensive?

Firstly sellers usually need contracts to exchange very quickly, the result being a lot of pressure on your lawyer to make sure everything is in order. Furthermore new build properties frequently necessitate examination of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Mortgage company obligations are also more demanding. Taking into account the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
