We have agreed to purchase a house in Wolverton. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. TSB have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with TSB your lawyer must check the formal instructions contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to TSB where a lease does not comply with these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Wolverton.
