I am buying a property in Worcester Park. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease fails to meet these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Worcester Park.

Your property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the lawyers are on the lender’s approved list). Contact Santander or your broker and finish off any relevant documentation.

Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. Santander will issue the offer to you and your lawyers.

I am purchasing a new build house in Worcester Park benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
