I am purchasing a property in Bulkington. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Skipton 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 Skipton your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Skipton where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Bulkington.

It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Bulkington building society branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Bulkington conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

Provided that the conveyancer is on the bank panel, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
