Your original mortgage agreement with HSBC will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of HSBC’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent 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 HSBC directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a HSBC conveyancing panel lawyer.

Should our lawyer be raising questions about flooding during the conveyancing in De Beauvoir Town.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in De Beauvoir Town. There are those who buy a house in De Beauvoir Town, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be initiated by the buyer or by their conveyancers which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in De Beauvoir Town. The standard information given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the owner to find out if the property has historically flooded. If the property has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser could issue a claim for damages stemming from an misleading answer. The buyer’s solicitors will also order an environmental report. This will indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be initiated.

My wife and I have a renovated Georgian house in De Beauvoir Town. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Barclays . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in De Beauvoir Town and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.

I am buying a new build house in De Beauvoir Town with a mortgage from Aldermore. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it may affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in De Beauvoir Town I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in De Beauvoir Town for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
