I am purchasing a property in Stourbridge. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Virgin Money. The CML Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Virgin Money where a lease fails to comply with these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Stourbridge.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Stourbridge. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £150. A couple of days later, the property lawyer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the TSB conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the TSB panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
