I currently have a mortgage with Kent Reliance for my property in Frodsham. Conveyancing was finalised a year 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 BTL mortgage or inform Kent Reliance?
Your original mortgage agreement with Kent Reliance will provide that you need their approval in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Kent Reliance’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance directly. You need not do this via a Kent Reliance conveyancing panel solicitor.
How does conveyancing in Frodsham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Frodsham contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Frodsham typically acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Frodsham or who has acted in the same development.

If you know people who instructed your friend and the majority were happy that must trump using an unknown Frodsham conveyancing solicitor just because they are Frodsham based.
I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that seems to be perfect, at a reasonable figure which is making it more attractive.
