We went with a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Staindrop yesterday. After carefully reading the Ts and Cs I notewe are liable for charges even where the transaction does not complete.

I am buying a property in Staindrop. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Bank of Ireland have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Bank of Ireland your lawyer must follow the formal instructions contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease fails to comply with these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Staindrop.

My offer was accepted on a house in Staindrop on 11/3/2024, valuation was booked 4 days after, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Lloyds and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Are Lloyds entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Lloyds to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
