I am purchasing a property in Radstock. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Co-operative be concerned?
As your lender is Co-operative your lawyer must check the formal instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Co-operative.

It is unclear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Radstock building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Radstock conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The solicitor has to follow the CML Handbook section two specifications for your 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.
