We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from as we intend to carry out improvements to our property in Hillingdon. Do we need to appoint a high street Hillingdon solicitor on the conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
do not ordinarily instruct a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the conveyancing panel.
I have a mortgage with for my property in Hillingdon. Conveyancing has been completed some time 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 buy-to-let mortgage or inform ?
You must advise before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of ’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 directly. You need not do this via a conveyancing panel lawyer.
About to purchase apartment in Hillingdon. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Hillingdon is on the conveyancing panel.
I am selling our home in Hillingdon and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Hillingdon. We have lived in Hillingdon for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Hillingdon ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some lenders will refuse to issue a loan on such a house.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions for example to Halifax. If you e-mail us we can check via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Hillingdon. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
