I am buying a property in Frampton on Severn. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. RBS 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 RBS your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to RBS where a lease does not meet these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Frampton on Severn.

I have just appointed agents to market my garden flat in Frampton on Severn. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you clear the service charge as normal because all rents and service invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage 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.
