It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Billingshurst. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I can't find my title documents. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they may be archived with the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers.

I have a mortgage with Principality for my property in Billingshurst. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Principality?

Your original mortgage agreement with Principality will provide that you need their approval 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. It should not be necessary to do this via a Principality conveyancing panel lawyer.

I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Santander.

It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Billingshurst conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your lawyer is on the TSB approved list.

It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Billingshurst completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
