I am buying a property in Winscombe. A rare 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 follow the conveyancing instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays. The CML Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Barclays where a lease fails to meet these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Winscombe.

There is not much else in Winscombe in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

I am looking at a couple of apartments in Winscombe which have in the region of fifty years left on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a period of time. As a lease shortens the value of the lease decreases and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. For this reason it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We advise that you seek professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.
