If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Howden what would it be?
Do not opt for the cheapest Howden conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers.

We previously selected conveyancing lawyers located in Howden on the Principality solicitor panel. They have just billed me a supplemental fee for dealing with the Principality mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Principality?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Principality but by your Howden property lawyer. Some firms on the Principality panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I have a mortgage with Santander for my property in Howden. Conveyancing was finalised some time 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 BTL mortgage or inform Santander?
You must advise Santander before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Santander’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 Santander directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Santander conveyancing panel solicitor.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Howden is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Howden are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Howden you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Howden 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 premises.
