“Professional friendly advice from start to finish”
What Do Buy To Let Solicitors Do?
A buy to let solicitor specialises in the legal aspects of purchasing or selling a property that will be rented out to tenants. While buy to let conveyancing shares a number of similarities with standard residential conveyancing, it also involves additional legal considerations unique to investment properties. These can include checking title restrictions tied to rental use, dealing with lender requirements for buy to let mortgages, and handling complex documentation that ensures that your property is legally compliant and market-ready.
Whether you are buying your first buy to let property or selling an existing investment, a specialist buy to let solicitor helps to protect your legal and financial interests, ensuring that the transaction proceeds smoothly and swiftly.
What Services Do Our Buy To Let Solicitors Provide?
Support With Purchasing A Buy To Let Property
Buying a buy to let property is similar in structure to purchasing a residential home, but includes extra layers of legal work. Our buy to let solicitors will:
- Carry out relevant property searches and investigations
- Check for any restrictions on renting the property
- Provide clear, jargon-free advice at each stage
- Prepare and review all necessary legal documentation
We handle all legal checks and documentation on your behalf, so you can focus on the practical aspects of your investment.
Support With Selling A Buy To Let Property
If you are planning to sell a buy to let property, whether it is vacant or occupied by tenants, the legal requirements can be more involved than a standard residential sale. Selling with tenants in situ in particular involves handling:
- Tenancy agreements and deposit protection details
- Notices and tenant rights
- Coordination with buyer and agents to satisfy legal conditions
Our team will guide you through these steps, overseeing the legal processes from start to finish and ensuring legal compliance at every stage.
Support With Converting A Property To A Buy To Let
Converting a property owned for personal use into a buy to let investment often involves additional steps, such as remortgaging or obtaining lender consent. The buy to let solicitors at Johnson Astills can help you:
- Navigate remortgaging advice and negotiations
- Liaise with lenders to secure consent
- Prepare updated legal documentation
Our work ensures that the property is legally compliant for rental use and that your mortgage arrangements are correctly in place.
