I am purchasing a property in Rayleigh. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender UBS be concerned?

As your lender is UBS your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to UBS where a lease does not comply with these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Rayleigh.

I can not fathom if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Rayleigh bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Rayleigh conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?

Provided that the conveyancer is on the mortgage company approved list, she or he must adhere to the CML Handbook provisions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
