I am buying a property in Kempston. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Kent Reliance have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As your lender is Kent Reliance your lawyer must follow the formal requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The CML Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Kempston.

I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Aldermore. Is it usual for Aldermore to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Kempston is approved on their conveyancing panel? Aldermore have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

    The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Kempston I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kempston for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
