I have a mortgage with Lloyds for my property in The Hale. Conveyancing was finalised 12 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 BTL mortgage or inform Lloyds?
Your original mortgage agreement with Lloyds will provide that you need their approval in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Lloyds’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Lloyds 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 Lloyds directly. You need not do this via a Lloyds conveyancing panel lawyer.
I am downsizing from our house in The Hale and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in The Hale. We have lived in The Hale for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
