I have 71 years left on my lease and need a lease extension for my flat in Hilperton. Conveyancing solicitors on the Accord Mortgages panel can deal with such extensions right?
Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are obtaining a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Accord Mortgages have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 7/5/2026 the requirements read as follows :
I'm the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Hilperton. The Hilperton property was put into my name in April. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in April. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
Can you point me to a directory of Santander panel solicitors in Hilperton on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
No. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association websites. Very few banks make their panel listings open the public over the internet. Where you are looking for a Hilperton conveyancing practitioner on the Santander please make the most of our tool.
The mortgage over my property is with Principality for my property in Hilperton. Conveyancing has been completed 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 buy-to-let mortgage or inform Principality?
You must advise Principality before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’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 Principality directly. You need not do this via a Principality conveyancing panel solicitor.

The conventional set of information given to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual inquiry of the seller to discover if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer may commence a legal claim for losses stemming from an inaccurate reply. A buyer’s conveyancers should also commission an environmental search. This will reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be initiated.
