We have agreed to purchase a house in Newton Abbot. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Santander have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Santander your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Santander. The CML Handbook includes minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Santander where a lease does not comply with these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Newton Abbot.
Our offer on a semi in Newton Abbot has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Newton Abbot. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Principality going?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Newton Abbot conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancer is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many buyers will apply for the mortgage with Principality and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their property lawyer to proceed with searches.

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the service charge as you normally would as all ground rent and service charges should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
