You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP.

I currently have a mortgage with Leeds Building Society for my property in Buxton. Conveyancing was finalised 12 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 Leeds Building Society?
Your original mortgage agreement with Leeds Building Society will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Leeds Building Society’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 Leeds Building Society directly. You need not do this via a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel lawyer.
It is unclear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Buxton bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Buxton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
The conveyancing practitioner must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

4 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Buxton took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. 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.
My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the estate agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we use their chosen lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Buxton
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Buxton conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.
I want to rent out my leasehold flat in Buxton. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
Notwithstanding that your last Buxton conveyancing lawyer is not available you can check your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you need to seek consent via your landlord or some other party before subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining permission. The consent should not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord for their consent.
