I am buying a property in Droylsden. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Lloyds be concerned?
Given that your lender is Lloyds your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Lloyds where a lease fails to meet these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Droylsden.
I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Droylsden building society branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Droylsden conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the lawyer is on the lender panel, they must follow the CML Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
