I have a mortgage with Barclays for my property in Penrhyn Bay. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. Should I wish 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 prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies 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 Barclays directly. You need not do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel lawyer.
Will our solicitor be asking questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Penrhyn Bay.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Penrhyn Bay. Plenty of people will buy a property in Penrhyn Bay, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Penrhyn Bay. The standard information given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the seller to discover if the property has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser could bring a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading reply. A purchaser’s solicitors may also carry out an enviro search. This will reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be initiated.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Penrhyn Bay. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Penrhyn Bay - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
