I have a mortgage with Yorkshire BS for my property in Loddon. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months 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 Yorkshire BS?
Your original mortgage agreement with Yorkshire BS will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Yorkshire BS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Yorkshire BS will allow you to rent 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 Yorkshire BS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel solicitor.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Aldermore. Is it usual for Aldermore to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Loddon is approved on their conveyancing panel? Aldermore have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to sub-let our Loddon 1st floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Loddon conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A lease dictates relations between the freeholder and you the flat owner; specifically, it will say if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Loddon do not contain subletting altogether – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the property. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the tenancy agreement.

The property lawyers conducting our conveyancing in Loddon has sent documents to review that reveal that the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Surely all houses in Loddon are registered?
Although the vast majorities of properties in Loddon are now registered with HMLR there are still a few that remain unregistered. Any property in Loddon that has been purchased since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HM Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Loddon property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Loddon conveyancing practitioners should be able to handle such matters but where uncertainty exists the prevailing recommendation these days appears to be for the vendor’s solicitor to register the title first and then sell - this undoubtedly result in a significant delay.
