I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (6 years built) in Shenstone. The vast majority the appartments have already been sold. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Shenstone?

You are opening yourself up to an unnecessary risk in refusing to carrying out Shenstone conveyancing searches.

We wanted to use a property lawyer in Shenstone for our house move. Our broker has since advised us that our mortgage company Bank of Scotland won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?

Before the recession most mortgage companies had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Shenstone conveyancing firms would have been on most bank panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders are increasingly seeing more information from law firms about their operations and their employees and establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum volume of conveyancing. Many Shenstone conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Shenstone is one of the hundreds of areas where the conveyancers we recommend are on the panel for Bank of Scotland.

I am expecting a AIP from Skipton this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

I have a mortgage with Nationwide for my property in Shenstone. Conveyancing was finalised 12 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 Nationwide?

Nationwide must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nationwide’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Nationwide 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 Nationwide directly. You need not do this via a Nationwide conveyancing panel firm.

For most Shenstonelease extensions you would need to own the property for a couple of years in order to be eligible to carry out a lease extension.
