We have agreed to purchase a house in Wombwell. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Yorkshire BS 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 Yorkshire BS your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease does not meet these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Wombwell.
