I am buying a property in Pevensey Bay. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Clydesdale have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Clydesdale your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Clydesdale. The CML Handbook includes minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Clydesdale where a lease does not meet these provisions.

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Pevensey Bay you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Pevensey Bay may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
