Your conveyancer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Queenborough can occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent certain changes or require the permission of a 3rd party. Certain extensions need local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
I have a mortgage with Bank of Ireland for my property in Queenborough. Conveyancing was finalised a year 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 Bank of Ireland?
Bank of Ireland must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Bank of Ireland’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 Bank of Ireland directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel lawyer.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Queenborough is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Queenborough are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Queenborough you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Queenborough may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

As is the case with lots of service providers, often referrals from connections can be very helpful. Yet there are numerous players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all put forward conveyancers to appoint. On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there exists a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to select your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that most mortgage providers specify a panel list of law firms you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your home move.
