The mortgage over my property is with JPMorgan. 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 BTL mortgage or inform JPMorgan?
Your original mortgage agreement with JPMorgan will provide that you need their approval in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of JPMorgan’s mortgage conditions. It may be that JPMorgan 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 JPMorgan directly. You need not do this via a JPMorgan conveyancing panel firm.
I had an offer accepted on a property on the 6th February 2014, valuation was booked five days later, all came back fine. Property lawyer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to JPMorgan and chasing them on my offer I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for JPMorgan to deal with your lawyers application to be on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitors will be accepted.
