I am purchasing a property in Chipping Sodbury. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Leeds Building Society have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Leeds Building Society your lawyer must check the formal requirements outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease fails to comply with these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Chipping Sodbury.
