We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from Yorkshire BS as we wish to conduct alterations to our home in Bonvilston. Are we obliged to choose a nearby Bonvilston solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Yorkshire BS do not ordinarily require a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Yorkshire BS list.
I am expecting a OIP from TSB 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). Do TSB recommend any Bonvilston solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Bonvilston solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.
The mortgage over my property is with RBS for my property in Bonvilston. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. Should I wish 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 RBS?
RBS must be informed of your intention in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of RBS’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 RBS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a RBS conveyancing panel firm.
