The mortgage over my property is with Coventry BS for my property in Wolston. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. Should I wish 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 Coventry BS?

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Wolston with the aim of saving time on the sale process?

• A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Wolston can be avoided where you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers.
If you have had conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is a current dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic rather than ongoing. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but you should double-check by asking your lawyers. A purchaser's conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the remaining number of years is less than 75 years. In the circumstances it is important at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Wolston state that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such works. Should you fail to have the approvals in place do not contact the landlord without checking with your conveyancer before hand.
