Hoping to complete in the next couple of weeks but my solicitor seems hung up on guarantee paperwork for the solar panels which the vendor has told me he simply cannot find. What happens now? This obviously won’t make us not buy the property! Sorry if it’s an ignorant question but frustrated that nothing has progressed since before Christmas with the solicitors only coming back this week. 

Thanks!

    If you are not concerned about about the warranty, write and instruct your solicitor to rpoceed without.
    Unless, of course, you are getting a mortgage and it is the lender who insists on them, in which case releasing the mortgage funds might be dependant on the warranty.

    If you're getting a mortgage then it isn't your decision. Your lender may insist on a guarantee or indemnity before agreeing to release the money.

  • Makes sense. Thanks guys.
