The mortgage over my property is with TSB for my property in Cwmcarn. Conveyancing was finalised 12 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 BTL mortgage or inform TSB?

Your original mortgage agreement with TSB will provide that you need their approval in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’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 TSB directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a TSB conveyancing panel solicitor.

My offer on a detached house in Cwmcarn has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Cwmcarn. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Santander started?

It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Cwmcarn conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some home buyers will apply for a home loan with Santander and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Cwmcarn.

We refuse to give any referral fee for sending work our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

I am using a search engine for the phrase conveyancing in Cwmcarn it shows results of numerous conveyancersin the vicinity. How do I determine which is the right conveyancing solicitor for purchase transaction?
