I have just started taking steps with a view to switching my domestic loan to a BTL Yorkshire Building Society mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I need a solicitor as part of the process. I got in contact with my past Olney conveyancing firm who dealt with the legals when I originally bought the premises. The fee calculation supplied of £450 plus VAT has shocked me as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.

I currently have a mortgage with Principality for my property in Olney. 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 BTL mortgage or inform Principality?
Your original mortgage agreement with Principality will provide that you need their approval prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Principality 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 Principality directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Principality conveyancing panel lawyer.

My husband and I may need to rent out our Olney ground floor flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Olney conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your previous Olney conveyancing solicitor is not around you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the premises. The rule is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to obtain permission via your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet in the absence of first obtaining permission. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably turned down. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
