We have agreed to purchase a house in Silvertown. An unusual 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 your lender is Coventry BS your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS.
