We have agreed to purchase a house in Settle. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Virgin Money be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Virgin Money your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Virgin Money. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Virgin Money where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Settle.
It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Settle building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Settle conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Your lawyer must comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 provisions for your bank. 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
