I currently have a mortgage with UBS for my property in Magor. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform UBS?
You must advise UBS before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that UBS 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.
Will my conveyancer be asking questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Magor.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Magor. Some people will buy a property in Magor, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that may be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Magor. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual inquiry of the owner to determine if the property has ever been flooded. If the property has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser may commence a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading reply. A buyer’s solicitors may also commission an enviro report. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be conducted.
I purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in Magor. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Skipton Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Skipton Building Society to clarify?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Magor and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
