We have agreed to purchase a house in East and West Horsley. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale your lawyer must follow the formal requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Clydesdale. The CML Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Clydesdale where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to East and West Horsley.
