I have a mortgage with Kent Reliance for my property in Sevenoaks. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months 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 Kent Reliance?
You must advise Kent Reliance before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Kent Reliance’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Kent Reliance conveyancing panel lawyer.
I've digested plenty of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Sevenoaks solicitor - who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Clydesdale will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Clydesdale will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Sevenoaks surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week to receive the mortgage offer. Aldermore will issue the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Sevenoaks.
I purchased my home on 7 July and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Sevenoaks said it will be concluded in less than a month. Are properties in Sevenoaks uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Sevenoaks is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Sevenoaks differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Sevenoaks approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Sevenoaks typically purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Sevenoaks or who has acted in the same development.
