We have agreed to purchase a house in St Nicholas. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. RBS 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 you are obtaining a mortgage with RBS your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to RBS where a lease does not comply with these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to St Nicholas.
I currently have a mortgage with Virgin Money for my property in St Nicholas. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Virgin Money?
Virgin Money must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Virgin Money directly. You need not do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel firm.
