The mortgage over my property is with UBS for my property in Pickering. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. Should I wish 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 UBS?

UBS must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’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 UBS directly. You need not do this via a UBS conveyancing panel solicitor.

I have just appointed agents to market my garden apartment in Pickering. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as you normally would given that all ground rent and service invoices should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

    Most Pickering leasehold properties will be liable to pay a service bill for maintenance of the block invoiced by the freeholder. Where you purchase the property you will have to meet this charge, usually periodically accross the year.

In all likelihood there will be a rentcharge to be met yearly, this is usually not a significant figure, say around £50-£100 but you need to check it because occasionally it could be prohibitively expensive. The best form of lease structure is if the freehold interest is in the ownership of the leaseholders.
