I am buying a property in Stanley. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. TSB 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 TSB your lawyer must check the formal requirements set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB.

How does conveyancing in Stanley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Stanley approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Stanley typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying.

Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Stanley or who has acted in the same development.
