We have agreed to purchase a house in Darlington. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Aldermore have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Aldermore where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications.

My offer was accepted on an apartment in Darlington on 13/11/2024, valuation was booked 3 days after, all came back fine. Solicitor instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer.

How does conveyancing in Darlington differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Darlington approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Darlington typically purchase the real estate, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Darlington or who has acted in the same development.
