I am buying a property in Flint. 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 set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Flint.
I currently have a mortgage with UBS for my property in Flint. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform UBS?
Your original mortgage agreement with UBS will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact UBS directly. You need not do this via a UBS conveyancing panel lawyer.
