I am purchasing a property in Shirebrook. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Coventry BS 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 Coventry BS your lawyer must check the formal instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS. The CML Handbook contains minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease fails to satisfy these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Shirebrook.
It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Shirebrook building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Shirebrook conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the solicitor is on the bank panel, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
