I am purchasing a property in Westbury. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Bank of Ireland 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 you are obtaining a mortgage with Bank of Ireland your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease fails to comply with these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Westbury.

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Westbury you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
