I am buying a property in Seaview. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Kent Reliance 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 you are obtaining a mortgage with Kent Reliance your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease does not comply with these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Seaview.
