The mortgage over my property is with UBS for my property in Bexley. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform UBS?
Your original mortgage agreement with UBS will provide that you need their approval in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let 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 UBS directly. You need not do this via a UBS conveyancing panel solicitor.
I can not fathom if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Bexley building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Bexley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the property lawyer is on the lender panel, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Bexley conveyancing practitioner is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
