I have a mortgage with Santander for my property in North Hykeham. 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 Santander?
Santander must be informed of your intention before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Santander’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Santander 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 Santander directly. You need not do this via a Santander conveyancing panel solicitor.
I am selling our property in North Hykeham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street North Hykeham lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a nationwide conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in North Hykeham. We have lived in North Hykeham for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in North Hykeham. Conveyancing and Nationwide Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing solicitor in North Hykeham who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to be sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. You do not need to incur the fees of a North Hykeham conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

Check with your mortgage company that they are willing to lend given the lease term.

For most North Hykehamlease extensions you will need to own the property for two years in order to be eligible to extend the lease. Are there any major works anticipated that will likely add a premium to the service costs? Is the freehold owned jointly by the tenants?
