I am purchasing a property in St Nicholas. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Bank of Ireland be concerned?
As your lender is Bank of Ireland your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland.

It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called my St Nicholas building society branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My St Nicholas conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the bank approved list, they must adhere to the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 left on the lease.
