The Council of Mortgage Lenders Handbook contains conveyancing instructions for a property with a solar panel. Newbury Mortgage Services do not seem to have any similar obligations via the BSA Mortgage Instructions. Is this right?
The BSA Mortgage Instructions don't specifically deal with Solar Panels but it would be prudent as approved solicitors for Newbury Mortgage Services to raise the issue with them (as you would if the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook applied). In any event you need to raise the appropriate questions for your buyer client.
What lender panels do you receive the most questions about?
BSA lenders do not come within the top 20 lenders in terms of frequency of questions. The most popular lender panels in terms of questions are as follows:
