Solar Panel Not registered

Churchy8019

Hi,

New on here and I'm looking for help, direction, and some sanity.

My property has been sold subject to contract, however I have an issue with the solar panels.

The Solar panel are not registered to the lease. Signed paperwork is one company (who no longer exist), Another company done the insallation in south west England, whilst all administration and correspondence is with another company in London.

The sale can't proceed until this is resolution of the lease. I spoken to my Solicitors but things keep bouncing around with no solution. The solar panel company have confirm the issues (not registered) and have ask for advise from he Solicitor of what do do next.

Is it a case of the solar panels just being removed.

My mortgage lend confirmed a payment from me for the solar panel (confirmation) yer the solar panel company say otherwise causing the issue (if I have understood it all correctly). The mortgage lender has directed my issue to head office who are due to call me.

This has been dragging of for 2 + months now and I feel I'm running out of options with increased blood pressure.

Your advise will be appiciated

Thank you

Hi, I am not clear what the issue is here. On the other thread where you raised the issue people thought you were referring (as the original poster was) to the panels not being registered to receive the Feed-in payments under the FIT scheme but reading your post here that does not seem to be the issue.

If I understand your concerns correctly, you seem to be concerned that the panels have not been registered against a lease. I am no expert but I am not sure what should be registered. Presumably your property is leasehold, not freehold, but what are you expecting to have registered and with whom?

Can you provide more information so that someone with knowledge of leasehold law might be able to point you in the right direction?

If I'm honest I'm not 100% sure of the exact issue. Partly ranting and raving in my post above.

From what I understand, we had solar panels fitted through a government scheme and benefitting with the reduced bills.

On sale of our property, issues have arisen firstly with tracking down the company who no longer exists. The solar panels were installed by a different company (company no.2), and another company details with the administration or handles our records (company no.3).

After trying to get a solid answer above, it turns out the lease was not registered (Still seeking answer to exactly what this means).

The mortgage lender according to the solar panel company (company no.3) informed me that the lender refused solar panels on the property. I rang the lender who say they have confirm payment from myself and authorisation of the installation. My query has been forwarded to head office and I'm currently waiting for a call to confirm the details.

As it stands it been like this for 5 years and I've never received any correspondence that there was any issues.

I've ask for them to be taken down, however it's been dismissed.

That has been some progress, the purchaser are happy to proceed with the solar panels, however they want me to foot the bill to register with there lender who have accepted solar panels with the property.

Hope this makes sense.

Reading this, I get the impression that you don't own the panels but you get the benefit of reduced electric bills by using the electric they generate?

To me it seems these are rent-a-roof panels, with the FiT going to a.n.other company.

I think the hold -up is the buyers mortgage company don't want the panels as they have a seperate lease on them, which benefits the third party only.

Does this seem about right?
