I currently have a mortgage with Virgin Money for my property in Northumberland Heath. Conveyancing was finalised 12 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 Virgin Money?

You must advise Virgin Money in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’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 Virgin Money directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel solicitor.

My wife and I are selling our home in Northumberland Heath and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Northumberland Heath conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Northumberland Heath. Having lived in Northumberland Heath for three years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You should check with 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 illness)

I am buying a new build house in Northumberland Heath with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it could impact my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Northumberland Heath I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Northumberland Heath suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
