I have just started taking steps with the intention of porting my domestic home loan to a BTL Accord Mortgages Ltd mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I need a solicitor for this. I spoke to my previous Tufnell Park conveyancing practitioner who dealt with the legals when I originally acquired the premises. The fee calculation provided of £500 is an eye-watering amount to do this as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.

I currently have a mortgage with RBS for my property in Tufnell Park. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. If I am intending 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 RBS?
You must advise RBS in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of RBS’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 RBS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a RBS conveyancing panel firm.
Having read lots 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 Tufnell Park solicitor - who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Kent Reliance will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Kent Reliance 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. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Tufnell Park postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Tufnell Park.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Tufnell Park is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Tufnell Park are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Tufnell Park you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
