I currently have a mortgage with TSB for my property in Forest Hall. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. In the event that I decide 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 TSB?

You must advise TSB in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’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 TSB directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a TSB conveyancing panel solicitor.

I am buying a new build house in Forest Hall benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about this side-deal as it would jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Is it best to choose a Forest Hall conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? An old friend can execute the legal work however her office is approximately 350miles drive away.

The primary upside of using a local Forest Hall conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, present your ID and pester them where appropriate. Having local Forest Hall know how is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and in the main were content that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Forest Hall conveyancing lawyer just because they are Forest Hall based.
