Please help - my lawyer advises that lack of planning permission insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Wigton conveyancing?
The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Virgin Money. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
I currently have a mortgage with Nationwide for my property in Wigton. 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 BTL mortgage or inform Nationwide?
Your original mortgage agreement with Nationwide will provide that you need their approval in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nationwide’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Nationwide 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 Nationwide directly. You need not do this via a Nationwide conveyancing panel solicitor.
