My partner and I are spending time looking at apartments in Llanbedrgoch and I am about to put in an offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Santander.

You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP.

The mortgage over my property is with TSB for my property in Llanbedrgoch. Conveyancing has been completed some time 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 TSB?

Your original mortgage agreement with TSB will provide that you need their approval in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’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 TSB directly. You need not do this via a TSB conveyancing panel firm.

At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Llanbedrgoch agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Llanbedrgoch. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Virgin Money started?

It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Llanbedrgoch conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of purchasers would apply for a home loan with Virgin Money and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancer to move forward with searches.

I have recently realised that I have 68 years left on my flat in Llanbedrgoch. I now wish to extend my lease but my freeholder is can not be found. What are my options?

On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to locate the lessor.
