I am purchasing a property in Market Weighton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender RBS be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with RBS your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The CML Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to RBS where a lease fails to comply with these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Market Weighton.
My wife and I are in the process of viewing houses in Market Weighton and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it advisable to have a lawyer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Principality.
It would be sensible to start your search sooner rather than later.

I can not fathom if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Market Weighton building society branch on a couple of occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Market Weighton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
The conveyancing practitioner has to follow the CML Handbook Part 2 specifications for your 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.
