I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (five years built) in Berkhamsted. The vast majority the flats have already been disposed of. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Berkhamsted?
If you are purchasing a property with the assistance of a loan, your mortgage company will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Berkhamsted conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you will need to change to another solicitor for your conveyancing in Berkhamsted.

The mortgage over my property is with Yorkshire BS for my property in Berkhamsted. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Yorkshire BS?
Yorkshire BS must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Yorkshire BS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Yorkshire BS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel firm.
