The CML Handbook includes minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Hatton Park.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we use their preferred lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Hatton Park
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Contact the owners directly and make sure they understand (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Hatton Park conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will give the estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing figures set by head office.
