In my village we are on a hill and many houses have a direct line of sight due South and 6 out of 11 of them have got solar panels fitted. I have searched the internet and can't find a conclusive answer.
If the panels have been supplied free then the house owner gets the free leccie and the panel supplier/owner gets the money from the feed-in tariff, So, one wants to sell a house with stuff on the roof in which a 3rd party has a financial interest. Does that mean that they can block a sale altogether or is it that a buyer must agree to the handover of the tariff to the owner. It would seem to me to be a bit of a disincentive to buy a house with leased panels on it.

...or is it that a buyer must agree to the handover of the tariff to the owner...
That's my understanding, although others on here are more into property than me.

I agree, and would go further.
House buyers are generally conservative, so any panels - leased or not - will be off putting.

The prospect of paying £200k or more for a nice house with a crappy looking roof...
My suspicion is even if the panels belonged to the house the prospect of an extra 3 or 4 hundred quid a year feed-in tariff is not necessarily help the sale.
If the panels were not owned by the house then I'd imagine it is quite a disincentive.
Why not go the whole hog and rent your roof out for a mobile phone mast?
