Some major lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

I currently have a mortgage with Virgin Money for my property in Openshaw. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. In the event that I decide 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 Virgin Money?
Your original mortgage agreement with Virgin Money will provide that you need their approval prior to renting 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. You need not do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel firm.
My sealed bid on a detached house in Openshaw has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Openshaw. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with TSB?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Openshaw conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your lawyer is on the TSB approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many home buyers would apply for a home loan with TSB and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to press on with searches.
