This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Stamfordham. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Stamfordham?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
My wife and I purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Stamfordham. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to ascertain if these works are allowed?
Your conveyancer should review the deeds as conveyancing in Stamfordham will on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit certain changes or need the consent of another owner. Some additions call for local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
I currently have a mortgage with Lloyds for my property in Stamfordham. 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 Lloyds?
Your original mortgage agreement with Lloyds will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Lloyds’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies 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 Lloyds directly. You need not do this via a Lloyds conveyancing panel lawyer.

I would like to let out my leasehold flat in Stamfordham. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
A small minority of properties in Stamfordham do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
