I am buying a property in Amlwch. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Yorkshire BS 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 Yorkshire BS your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Amlwch.
