Given that your lender is Coventry BS your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease does not comply with these conditions.
