The Mortgage Works have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 20/7/2026, the requirements read as follows :

I am purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Woodhouse and Handsworth. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to determine if these works are permitted?

Your conveyancer will review the registered title as conveyancing in Woodhouse and Handsworth will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of alterations or require the consent of a 3rd party. Many additions need local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be prudent to check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Woodhouse and Handsworth. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender HSBC be concerned?

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with HSBC your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to HSBC where a lease does not satisfy these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Woodhouse and Handsworth.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Woodhouse and Handsworth I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Woodhouse and Handsworth in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
