The mortgage over my property is with Lloyds for my property in Ogmore Vale. Conveyancing was finalised 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 buy-to-let mortgage or inform Lloyds?

Lloyds must be informed of your intention before 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 firm.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Ogmore Vale property lawyer having made sure that they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Bank of Ireland will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Bank of Ireland 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. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Ogmore Vale postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Ogmore Vale.

Our sealed bid on a house in Ogmore Vale has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Ogmore Vale. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with TSB going?

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 £1k, then valuation, Ogmore Vale conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancer is on the TSB approved list. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many purchasers will apply for a home loan with TSB and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with the conveyancing in Ogmore Vale.

I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of delay in Ogmore Vale house deals. Is that correct?

Local searches are unlikely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Ogmore Vale.

How does conveyancing in Ogmore Vale differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Ogmore Vale contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Ogmore Vale tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Ogmore Vale or who has acted in the same development.
