We have agreed to purchase a house in Wootton. An unusual 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 check the conveyancing requirements contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays. The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Barclays where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Wootton.
