I have a mortgage with Bank of Ireland for my property in Eccleshall. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. Should I wish 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 Bank of Ireland?
Bank of Ireland must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Bank of Ireland’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Bank of Ireland 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 Bank of Ireland directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel firm.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the agent has warned us that the owners will only proceed if we instruct their preferred conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Eccleshall
It is highly unlikely the sellers are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your preferred Eccleshall conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will earn their estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
