It is true that some banks and building societies now use the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander.

I currently have a mortgage with Kent Reliance for my property in Holbrook. Conveyancing has been completed some time 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 Kent Reliance?

Your original mortgage agreement with Kent Reliance will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Kent Reliance’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 Kent Reliance directly. You need not do this via a Kent Reliance conveyancing panel lawyer.

I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Holbrook. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with UBS going?

It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Holbrook conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancer is on the UBS approved list. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many buyers would apply for the mortgage with UBS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to move forward with the conveyancing in Holbrook.
