We had appointed solicitors located in Broad Haven on the Virgin Money solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate charge for handling the Virgin Money mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Virgin Money?

I have paid off my mortgage with HSBC. I assume I don't need a Broad Haven conveyancing practitioner on the HSBC panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your HSBC mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the HSBC mortgage from the register. HSBC, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where HSBC has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- HSBC has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The mortgage over my property is with RBS for my property in Broad Haven. Conveyancing was finalised 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. It may be that RBS 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.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Broad Haven from the perspective of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Broad Haven can be reduced where you instruct lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ solicitors. Many freeholders or Management Companies in Broad Haven levy fees for supplying management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should discover the fee that they propose to charge. The management information sought as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most usual reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Broad Haven. A minority of Broad Haven leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should ensure that you hold the original share certificate. Obtaining a replacement share certificate is often a lengthy process and slows down many a Broad Haven conveyancing deal. Where a new share is necessary, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (if applicable) for this sooner rather than later. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be wise to double-check by asking your lawyers. A buyer’s lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to where the remaining number of years is less than 75 years. It is therefore essential at an early stage that you consider whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.

You can instruct a conveyancing practitioner now requesting that they generate a file on your behalf. This will facilitate: 1) the estate agent to issue a Sales Memo to all parties 2) the seller’s solicitor to send out the draft contract. However, do not ask your conveyancing practitioner to order searches until you receive your valuation report via The Royal Bank of Scotland and you are happy to move forward.
