I currently have a mortgage with Clydesdale for my property in Longton. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. In the event that I decide 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 Clydesdale?
Clydesdale must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Clydesdale’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale directly. You need not do this via a Clydesdale conveyancing panel firm.
My offer on a property in Longton has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Longton. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Kent Reliance started?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Longton conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to proceed with searches.
Should my lawyer be asking questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Longton.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers dealing with homes in Longton. There are those who buy a property in Longton, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that may be carried out by the buyer or by their conveyancers which can figure out the risks in Longton. The standard information sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual inquiry of the owner to discover if the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the seller, then a buyer could commence a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading reply. A buyer’s conveyancers will also carry out an environmental report. This should reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be initiated.

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
