I currently have a mortgage with Principality for my property in Wheatley. Conveyancing has been completed a year 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 Principality?

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

I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Wheatley. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £175. Not long after, the lawyer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nottingham panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I need some quick conveyancing in Wheatley as I am faced with a deadline to complete within one month. A mortgage is not required. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

As you are are a cash buyer you are at liberty not to do searches although no lawyer would suggest that you don't. Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in Wheatley the following are instances of what can show up and adversely impact future mortgageability: Refused Planning Applications, Overdue Charges, Overdue Grants, Road Schemes,...

Me and my brother have a terraced Victorian house in Wheatley. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Wheatley and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Wheatley I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wheatley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

My husband and I are are looking to find an affordable conveyancing lawyer in Wheatley to buy a house. I want to avoid being ripped off and there's plenty Wheatley conveyancing solicitors out there...who do I opt for?
