I have a mortgage with Coventry BS for my property in Alexandra Park. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months 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 BTL mortgage or inform Coventry BS?
Your original mortgage agreement with Coventry BS will provide that you need their approval prior to renting 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. It should not be necessary to do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor.
How does conveyancing in Alexandra Park differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Alexandra Park contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Alexandra Park usually acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Alexandra Park or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Alexandra Park I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Alexandra Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
My husband and I are 18 days into a leasehold purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the local agent to carry out the conveyancing in Alexandra Park. We are not happy. Could you help me find new conveyancers?
A conveyancer would have to be very poor to suggest diss instructing them. Has the mortgage been issued? If so you will need to make them aware of the new conveyancer and have the mortgage documents are re-sent. The solicitor ideally needs to be on the lenders approved list to avoid added costs and complications. That should be your first question of the new lawyers.
