I am purchasing a property in West Bridgford. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Coventry BS 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 your lender is Coventry BS your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease does not meet these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to West Bridgford.
I have a mortgage with Nottingham for my property in West Bridgford. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Nottingham?
