Your original mortgage agreement with Lloyds will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Lloyds’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies 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 Lloyds directly. You need not do this via a Lloyds conveyancing panel firm.
It is unclear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Morganstown building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Morganstown conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the solicitor is on the mortgage company panel, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
