We have agreed to purchase a house in Endon. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Yorkshire BS 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 Yorkshire BS your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease does not meet these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Endon.

How does conveyancing in Endon differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Endon come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Endon tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Endon or who has acted in the same development.
