I have a mortgage with Virgin Money for my property in Holloway. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. If I am intending 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 Virgin Money?

Your original mortgage agreement with Virgin Money will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’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 Virgin Money directly. You need not do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel solicitor.

At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Holloway accepted, the owners do nevertheless have an associated purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Holloway. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS?

It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Holloway conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancer is on the Coventry BS approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of buyers would apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to move forward with searches.

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agency in Holloway where we see a number of flat sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Holloway conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the buyer?

Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.

An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

Following months of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Holloway. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?

Absolutely. We can put you in touch with a Holloway conveyancing firm who can help.
