I am purchasing a property in Delabole. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Kent Reliance be concerned?
Given that your lender is Kent Reliance your lawyer must follow the formal instructions set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The CML Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Delabole.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Coventry BS. Is it usual for Coventry BS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Delabole is approved on their conveyancing panel? Coventry BS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Delabole is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Delabole are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Delabole you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Delabole may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
