I am buying a property in Wroughton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Principality have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Principality your lawyer must check the formal requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The CML Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Principality where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Wroughton.
My sealed bid on a house in Wroughton has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have placed an offer on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments booked.

It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Wroughton conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your solicitor is on the Nationwide approved list.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Wroughton. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Wroughton, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding.

The standard property information forms supplied to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard inquiry of the seller to discover if the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser may issue a claim for damages stemming from an inaccurate reply. A purchaser’s solicitors may also carry out an enviro report. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be conducted.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Wroughton I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Wroughton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
