The mortgage over my property is with Barclays for my property in Parkwood Springs. Conveyancing was finalised 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 buy-to-let mortgage or inform Barclays?
Barclays must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Barclays 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 Barclays directly. You need not do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel lawyer.

I'm buying a new build house in Parkwood Springs with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent told me not to tell my lawyer about the extras as it could jeopardize my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
I pay a maintenance fee for my ground floor flat in Parkwood Springs. Due to losing my job and other issues I slipped into arrears with payments. I negotiated a clearance plan but there remains three thousand pounds currently outstanding.
I now wish to sell and I am worried this can threaten to derail the sale if I have to pay off the amount due first. Do I have to settle before - is this achievable?
Do check with the lawyer conducting your Parkwood Springs conveyancing but it may be possible to arrange for the outstanding amount to be transferred to the purchasers. The final price payable would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then pay the outstanding monies once they are the owners.
