I am purchasing a property in Ovingham. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Clydesdale be concerned?

As your lender is Clydesdale your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Clydesdale. The CML Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Clydesdale where a lease does not satisfy these provisions.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Nationwide are being problematic. The Ovingham solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Nationwide are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

The buyer’s lawyers may also order an enviro search. This should higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be made.
