I am buying a property in Tiverton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. RBS 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 RBS your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to RBS where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Tiverton.
