I am purchasing a property in Welling. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Barclays 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 Barclays your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Barclays where a lease does not satisfy these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Welling.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Welling. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Welling solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
