I am purchasing a property in North London. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Nationwide 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 Nationwide your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nationwide. The CML Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Nationwide where a lease fails to satisfy these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to North London.
About to purchase maisonette in North London. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the North London conveyancer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in North London I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in North London in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
