I currently have a mortgage with Principality for my property in St Leonard Shoreditch. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. In the event that I decide 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 Principality?
You must advise Principality in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies 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 Principality directly. You need not do this via a Principality conveyancing panel firm.

My fiance and I have recently had an offer accepted on a flat and had an appointment on Tuesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to selecting a conveyancing practitioner that unless they are on their approved list of property lawyers then we will have to pay out an additional charge of £250+. This is because they will then have to appoint a conveyancer to act for them in addition to the one we select on our behalf and we are liable for their costs. I have requested Leeds Building Society to supply me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told that I need to check with each individual solicitor to see if they are on the panel. Is their an easier way of going about this?
Ask Leeds Building Society what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for Leeds Building Society historically. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Leeds Building Society. Another option is to make use of our search facility and we may be able to identify a property lawyer in St Leonard Shoreditch on the approved list for Leeds Building Society.
