The Chaddesden conveyancing firm handling our Chaddesden conveyancing has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer informs me that he needs to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action appropriate?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from Skipton as we intend to conduct a loft conversion to our house in Chaddesden. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Chaddesden solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Skipton would not normally instruct firms on their conveyancing panel 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 Skipton conveyancing panel.
I have a mortgage with Barclays for my property in Chaddesden. Conveyancing has been completed some time 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 BTL mortgage or inform Barclays?
You must advise Barclays prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’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 Barclays directly. You need not do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel firm.

I wish to rent out my leasehold apartment in Chaddesden. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
A small minority of properties in Chaddesden do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
