You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Mersea Island and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the seller, property agent and even potentially a lender. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Mersea Island an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the legal process whose interest is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest may attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice.

Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do something that is contrary to your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

The mortgage over my property is with Leeds Building Society for my property in Mersea Island. Conveyancing was finalised a year 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 Leeds Building Society?
You must advise Leeds Building Society before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Leeds Building Society’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society directly. You need not do this via a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel lawyer.
