I currently have a mortgage with Skipton for my property in Worplesdon. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Skipton?
Skipton must be informed of your intention before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Skipton’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 Skipton directly. You need not do this via a Skipton conveyancing panel firm.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, HSBC are being pedantic. The Worplesdon solicitor who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but HSBC are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do HSBC have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that HSBC have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why HSBC may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I have been pointed in your direction by a few estate agents in Worplesdon to select a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your services rather than a competitor’s?
We don’t offer any referral fee for sending work in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Worplesdon with the purpose of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Worplesdon can be bypassed if you instruct lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ solicitors. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be advisable verify this via your solicitors. A buyer’s conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to to exchange contracts if the lease term is less than 80 years. It is therefore important at an early stage that you consider whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you are holding the original share document. Obtaining a re-issued share certificate is often a time consuming formality and delays many a Worplesdon conveyancing transaction. Where a reissued share certificate is necessary, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (where relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s permission? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Worplesdon leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord approving such alterations. Where you fail to have the paperwork to hand do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your lawyer before hand.
