I currently have a mortgage with HSBC for my property in Jarrow. Conveyancing was finalised some time 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 HSBC?

Your original mortgage agreement with HSBC will provide that you need their approval prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of HSBC’s mortgage conditions. It may be that HSBC 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 HSBC directly. You need not do this via a HSBC conveyancing panel firm.

I can not fathom if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Jarrow building society branch on numerous occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Jarrow conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the lender approved list, she or he must follow the CML Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
