We have agreed to purchase a house in Wirksworth. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Leeds Building Society be concerned?
Given that your lender is Leeds Building Society your lawyer must check the formal instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease does not satisfy these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Wirksworth.

Helen (my wife) and I may need to rent out our Wirksworth 1st floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Wirksworth conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Wirksworth conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can review your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the premises. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to seek permission via your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior permission. The consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
