The conveyancing charges on a leasehold premises in Willesden is inevitably greater than on a freehold transaction. This is because there is an amount of extra work required in communicating with the landlord and management company to obtain evidence concerning whether the rent and maintenance charges have been discharged and whether there are any significant expenditure in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the building.
Is it the case that all Willesden solicitor firms on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

The mortgage over my property is with TSB for my property in Willesden. Conveyancing was finalised 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?
TSB must be informed of your intention in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’s mortgage conditions. It may be that TSB 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. It should not be necessary to do this via a TSB conveyancing panel firm.
I have instructed a Willesden lawyer having checked that they are on the Principality conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Principality will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Principality 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. You may wish to consider appointing your own Willesden surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
