I am purchasing a property in Horncastle. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Co-operative be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Co-operative your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Co-operative. The CML Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Co-operative where a lease fails to comply with these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Horncastle.
