Buy-to-let conveyancing follows the same broad process as other residential conveyancing. However, there are some additional considerations that your solicitor will need to take into account. These include: Making sure that you comply with all the mortgage conditions Advising on restrictions that may affect you (as owner) and the tenant (as occupier) Advising on any local authority “good landlord” schemes that may apply to the property Confirming the property has a licence if it is a house of multiple occupation (HMO) Checking the gas and electrical installations are certified and safe Making sure you understand your obligations as a landlord, including ongoing costs and maintenance Your experienced and knowledgeable buy-to-let solicitor will explain the process to you and provide advice on any legal issues. They will work hard to make sure that everything is in place before the sale goes ahead so that you have no surprises at the completion stage.
