We have agreed to purchase a house in Bungay. 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 instructions contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Clydesdale.

The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Bungay.

Even where you use a solicitor outside Bungay you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
