As you are obtaining a mortgage with RBS your lawyer must check the formal instructions set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to RBS where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Cudham.

There are only 68 years left on my lease in Cudham. I now wish to extend my lease but my landlord is absent. What should I do?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to track down the lessor. On the whole an enquiry agent should be helpful to conduct investigations and prepare a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor both on investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Cudham.
