Summary

Barclays now requires solar panel roof leases in England and Wales to meet the UK Finance Minimum Requirements in full, replacing its acceptable-providers test. Where they do not, a deed of variation must be in place at or before completion, or the case cannot proceed.

Check the lender’s current requirements before you rely on this summary.
