I have just over seventy years unexpired on my lease and require a lease extension for my flat in Roehampton. Conveyancing solicitors on the Platform panel can deal with such extensions right?

Your property lawyer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Roehampton will sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of alterations or require the permission of another owner.

I currently have a mortgage with Bank of Ireland for my property in Roehampton. Conveyancing has been completed 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 buy-to-let mortgage or inform Bank of Ireland?

Your original mortgage agreement with Bank of Ireland will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Bank of Ireland’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Bank of Ireland 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 Bank of Ireland directly. You need not do this via a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel lawyer.

Bank of Ireland have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a flat in Roehampton has been accepted, now what?

Your property agent will want to be advised as to your conveyancer's details (be sure the property lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Contact Bank of Ireland or your broker and complete any relevant forms. Bank of Ireland will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to schedule an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Bank of Ireland will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Roehampton.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Roehampton is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Roehampton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Roehampton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Roehampton may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
