Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Thirsk

When it comes to lenders such as TSB, do Thirsk conveyancers face an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

Is there a list of TSB panel solicitors in Thirsk on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of banks make their panel listings viewable on the web. Where you are looking for a Thirsk property lawyer on the TSB please use our facility.

The mortgage over my property is with TSB for my property in Thirsk. Conveyancing has been completed 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 buy-to-let mortgage or inform TSB?

Your original mortgage agreement with TSB will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’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 TSB directly. You need not do this via a TSB conveyancing panel firm.

I own a leasehold flat in Thirsk. Conveyancing was completed in 21012. I have heard that I mustn’t allow the lease length get too short. Why is that a problem?

Thirsk domestic long term leases are for a prescribed period - normally 99 years when they started. However a significant appartments in Thirsk were constructed or converted 20 or more years ago and so such leases now have under eighty years unexpired. This may seem like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies generally need leases to have at least seventy five years remaining to adequate security. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are approaching eighty years. To enhance the marketability of your property you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. There are also significant benefits to taking action before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease falls below eighty years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
