We have agreed to purchase a house in Caldicot. One unusual 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 your lender is Skipton your lawyer must check the formal requirements contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Skipton where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Caldicot.
How does conveyancing in Caldicot differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Caldicot come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in Caldicot tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Caldicot or who has acted in the same development.
