I currently have a mortgage with Clydesdale for my property in North Ferriby. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat 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 in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Clydesdale’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale directly. You need not do this via a Clydesdale conveyancing panel firm.
It is not clear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my North Ferriby bank branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My North Ferriby conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the property lawyer is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
We are downsizing from our home in North Ferriby and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street North Ferriby conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in North Ferriby. Having lived in North Ferriby for many years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
How does conveyancing in North Ferriby differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in North Ferriby contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in North Ferriby tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in North Ferriby or who has acted in the same development.
