I currently have a mortgage with UBS for my property in Alsager. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. If I am intending 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 UBS?

You must advise UBS before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’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 UBS directly. You need not do this via a UBS conveyancing panel solicitor.

I have a renovated Edwardian property in Alsager. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and TSB. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Alsager and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that appears to be perfect, at a great price which is making it more attractive. I have just found out that the title is leasehold rather than freehold. I would have thought that there are particular concerns buying a leasehold house in Alsager. Conveyancing solicitors have not yet been instructed. Will they explain the issues?

Most houses in Alsager are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can assist with the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are buying in Alsager in which case you should be shopping around for a Alsager conveyancing practitioner and be sure that they have experience in advising on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a tenant you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions for example obtaining the landlord’spermission to conduct changes to the property. It may be necessary to pay a maintenance charge towards the upkeep of the estate where the house is part of an estate. Your solicitor should report to you on the legal implications.

    Is there a share of the freehold? Does the lease include onerous restrictions?

I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Alsager accepted, but there is a chain. The current proprietors have put an offer on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing lawyer in Alsager. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Skipton?

It is normal to have anxieties where there is an associated chain given your reluctance to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Alsager conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should check that your solicitor is on the Skipton approved list. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of buyers would apply for a home loan with Skipton and pay for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Alsager.
