I am assisting my aunt sell her house in Powys. Does the conveyancing solicitor order the EPC or it is for the owner to coordinate?

Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a required element of selling a property.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Powys. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Bank of Ireland have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As your lender is Bank of Ireland your lawyer must check the formal requirements set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The CML Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease fails to comply with these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Powys.

I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Powys bank branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Powys conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.

Provided that the conveyancer is on the lender panel, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

The deeds to our property can not be found. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Powys 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?

These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your solicitor will know exactly where to find all the relevant documentation so you can buy or dispose of your property without any difficulty. If copies can’t be found, your conveyancer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on your property.
