The mortgage over my property is with HSBC for my property in Gorton. Conveyancing was finalised months 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 HSBC?
Your original mortgage agreement with HSBC will provide that you need their approval in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of HSBC’s mortgage conditions. It may be that HSBC 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 HSBC directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a HSBC conveyancing panel solicitor.
About to purchase maisonette in Gorton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Gorton lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Gorton accepted, the vendors do however have an associated purchase. The sellers have offered on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Gorton. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with TSB started?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Gorton conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your property lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with TSB and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Gorton.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Gorton is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Gorton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Gorton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Gorton may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
