We have agreed to purchase a house in Potters Bar. A rare 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?
Given that your lender is Yorkshire BS your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Potters Bar.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Leeds Building Society are being problematic. The Potters Bar solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Leeds Building Society are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
How does conveyancing in Potters Bar differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Potters Bar contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Potters Bar tend to buy 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.

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 Potters Bar or who has acted in the same development.
