Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Molesey

I am expecting a AIP from RBS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do RBS recommend any Molesey solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

I have a mortgage with Bank of Ireland for my property in Molesey. Conveyancing has been completed some time 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 buy-to-let mortgage or inform Bank of Ireland?

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

Nationwide will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to book a time for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days to receive the mortgage offer. Nationwide will send the offer to you and your lawyers.
