We have agreed to purchase a house in Walkden. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Nationwide have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Nationwide your lawyer must follow the formal requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nationwide. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Nationwide where a lease fails to meet these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Walkden.

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. 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. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Walkden - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge payments? The prefered form of lease structure is if the freehold interest is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this situation the leaseholders benefit from control and although a managing agent is usually employed where it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. Can you inform me if there are any major works anticipated that will likely increase the maintenance fees?
