I have a mortgage with Principality for my property in Bexleyheath. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Principality?
You must advise Principality prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’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 Principality directly. You need not do this via a Principality conveyancing panel lawyer.
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Bexleyheath. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £150. Soon after, the property lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Skipton panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Our offer on a detached house in Bexleyheath has been agreed to, the vendors do however have a connected purchase. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Bexleyheath. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Bexleyheath conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should check that your solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS approved list. As to the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to move forward with the conveyancing in Bexleyheath.

The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
