I currently have a mortgage with Lloyds for my property in Buckhurst Hill. 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 Lloyds?
Lloyds must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Lloyds’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Lloyds 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 Lloyds directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Lloyds conveyancing panel solicitor.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Buckhurst Hill. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £225. A few days later, the conveyancer called me to say that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, UBS are being difficult. The Buckhurst Hill solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but UBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Will my lawyer be raising enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Buckhurst Hill.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Buckhurst Hill. Some people will buy a property in Buckhurst Hill, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Buckhurst Hill. The conventional set of information sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the seller to determine if the premises has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser could issue a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading reply. A purchaser’s lawyers may also commission an enviro report. This will disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be made.
