We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Co-operative as we wish to conduct a loft conversion to our house in Borehamwood. Do we need to select a nearby Borehamwood solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Co-operative would not normally appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Co-operative panel.
The mortgage over my property is with Principality for my property in Borehamwood. Conveyancing has been completed months 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?
Your original mortgage agreement with Principality will provide that you need their approval prior to renting 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 solicitor.
My wife and I are planning on selling our property in Borehamwood and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Borehamwood. Having lived in Borehamwood for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Borehamwood I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Borehamwood for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
