We had selected conveyancers locally in Lake on the HSBC solicitor panel. They have just billed me a supplemental fee for dealing with the HSBC mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by HSBC?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer can levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by HSBC but by your Lake conveyancer. Some firms on the HSBC panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Santander. Lake conveyancing solicitors have been appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Santander?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Santander done the valuation? Have you advised Santander as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Santander conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

I currently have a mortgage with Aldermore for my property in Lake. Conveyancing was finalised 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 BTL mortgage or inform Aldermore?

Your original mortgage agreement with Aldermore will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Aldermore’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Aldermore 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 Aldermore directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Aldermore conveyancing panel firm.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Lake?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Lake. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I decided to have a survey done on a house in Lake in advance of appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to grant a mortgage on such a premises.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can look into this further with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Lake. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Lake especially if they are acquainted with such properties in Lake.

I am using a search engine for the phrase conveyancing in Lake it brings up many conveyancerslocally. How do I determine which is the right conveyancing solicitor for my move?

The preferential method of seeking the right conveyancer is through a trusted recommendation, so seek the opinion of friends and family who have bought a property in Lake or the reputable estate agent or financial adviser. Costs for conveyancing in Lake differ, so it's sensible to request at least three fee calculations from different law firms. Dont forget to clarify that the costs are guaranteed not to rise.
