Do not opt for the cheapest Prestatyn conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
The mortgage over my property is with Coventry BS for my property in Prestatyn. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. Should I wish 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 Coventry BS?
Coventry BS must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry 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 Coventry BS directly. You need not do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor.
I have finally had an offer on a flat in Prestatyn agreed to, the sellers do however have a dependent purchase. The owners have put an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Prestatyn. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with RBS going?
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 in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Prestatyn conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some purchasers would apply for a home loan with RBS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to press on with searches.
