I have just started taking steps with the intention of switching my current homeowner mortgage to a Buy to Let HSBC Bank mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I require a solicitor for this. I got in contact with my previous Glyn Ceiriog conveyancing solicitor who dealt with the legals when I first purchased the property. The fee estimate sent of £550 has surprised me as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The estimate fees seem a little high. Where you are willing to invest time scrutinising quotes you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £125. That being said, if you were satisfied with the conveyancing the firm provided you couldlive to rue choosing an an untested lawyer. Don't forget to check the firm can act for HSBC Bank.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Glyn Ceiriog solicitor on the Co-operative panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Co-operative mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Co-operative mortgage from the register. Co-operative, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Glyn Ceiriog off the council. I have a mortgage offer with UBS. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with UBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel.
I have a mortgage with UBS for my property in Glyn Ceiriog. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform UBS?
You must advise UBS before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’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 UBS directly. You need not do this via a UBS conveyancing panel firm.
My wife and I have a semi-detached Victorian house in Glyn Ceiriog. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to assess 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Glyn Ceiriog and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.

In relation to leasehold conveyancing in Glyn Ceiriog what are the most frequent lease problems?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Glyn Ceiriog. All leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall
A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Nationwide Building Society, Bank of Scotland, and Barclays Direct all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, forcing the purchaser to pull out.
