The mortgage over my property is with Leeds Building Society for my property in Woore. 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 buy-to-let mortgage or inform Leeds Building Society?

Leeds Building Society must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Leeds Building Society’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent 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 Leeds Building Society directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel lawyer.

Soon after, the conveyancer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

The amount of money involved in buying any property is so high, the buyer’s conveyancing practitioner having to carry out a whole range of queries, searches and supplemental checks to protect the purchaser and their lender (if there is to be a mortgage) from expensive, avoidable problems. Conveyancing in Woore involves seeking information from various third parties, including other solicitor, local councils, private companies, building societies and banks. Some of these are well organised. Plenty are not. And remember, no matter how quickly your solicitor do their part, if the people you are purchasing from or are selling to aren't ready, nothing can go ahead until they are.
