The mortgage over my property is with Lloyds for my property in Winterton. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. If I am intending 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 Lloyds?

Your original mortgage agreement with Lloyds will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Lloyds’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Lloyds 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 Lloyds directly. You need not do this via a Lloyds conveyancing panel solicitor.

It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Winterton conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your property lawyer is on the Clydesdale approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with Clydesdale and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Winterton.

I have justfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Winterton for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

I am buying my first flat in Winterton benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my lawyer about this extras as it would put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
