We have agreed to purchase a house in Crayford. 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 your lender is RBS your lawyer must follow the formal requirements contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to RBS where a lease does not comply with these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Crayford.

Intending to buy a house in Crayford. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Crayford conveyancing practitioner is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
