After the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments remained a mandatory component of selling a house.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Shirehampton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Co-operative 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 you are obtaining a mortgage with Co-operative your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Co-operative. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Co-operative where a lease does not satisfy these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Shirehampton.

Planning on purchasing a flat in Shirehampton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Shirehampton lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel.
