I have a mortgage with Yorkshire BS for my property in Ripon. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months 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 Yorkshire BS?
Your original mortgage agreement with Yorkshire BS will provide that you need their approval in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Yorkshire BS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Yorkshire BS 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 Yorkshire BS directly. You need not do this via a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel solicitor.
I am purchasing my first flat in Ripon benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead.

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.
We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the selling agent told us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct the agent's preferred lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Ripon
It is highly unlikely the owners are driving this. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Ripon conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by corporate headquarters.
I pay a maintenance contribution for my property in Ripon. Due to redundancy and other issues I fell behind with payments. I negotiated a payment plan but there remains two outstanding as of today.
I now wish to sell and I am concerned this will jeopardize the sale if I have to pay off the amount due in advance. I'd like to sell up and subsequently repay the arrears from the proceeds - is this possible?
It would be wise to clarify with the conveyancing practitioner handling your Ripon conveyancing but one option could be to agree for the outstanding amount to be passed to the buyers. The purchase price due would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They would then deal with the outstanding monies after completion of the purchase.
