What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Collier Row
There are many recorded licenced Conveyancers in Collier Row and Solicitor partnerships in Collier Row to choose from It is important to make clear that both are regulated professionals specialising in the legal work in the home buying process. The two can conduct associated property related work such as remortgage conveyancing, lease extensions and transfer of equity conveyancing.
The mortgage over my property is with Yorkshire BS for my property in Collier Row. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. Should I wish 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 Yorkshire BS?
Your original mortgage agreement with Yorkshire BS will provide that you need their approval prior to 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 solicitor.
I have finally had an offer on a flat in Collier Row agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Collier Row. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Yorkshire BS going?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Collier Row conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. As to the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with the conveyancing in Collier Row.

The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. 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. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.
