We have agreed to purchase a house in Great Sankey. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. RBS 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 RBS your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to RBS where a lease does not satisfy these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Great Sankey.

The sellers have put an offer on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Great Sankey. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Yorkshire BS started?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Great Sankey conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Regarding the next stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many buyers would apply for a home loan with Yorkshire BS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to proceed with searches.
