We have agreed to purchase a house in Muxton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Barclays be concerned?
Given that your lender is Barclays your lawyer must follow the formal instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Barclays where a lease fails to comply with these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Muxton.
The mortgage over my property is with Virgin Money for my property in Muxton. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Virgin Money?
Virgin Money must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Virgin Money will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Virgin Money directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel lawyer.
It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Muxton building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Muxton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the property lawyer is on the bank panel, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
