The mortgage over my property is with Kent Reliance for my property in Biggleswade. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Kent Reliance?
You must advise Kent Reliance prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Kent Reliance’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Kent Reliance conveyancing panel firm.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, UBS are being problematic. The Biggleswade solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but UBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Planning on purchasing a flat in Biggleswade. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Biggleswade property lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

My parents are experiencing difficulties in finding their Biggleswade land registry title on the online search facility. They have a vague recollection 50 years ago when they bought the house there were complications with the post code not being identified on some systems.
The vast majority of properties in Biggleswade should appear. Have you limited your search to just the postcode. Normally it should identify all the houses and flats within that postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will show up with a title number. Where they bought fifty years ago it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The address might still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title papers which could be with your parent’s lender.
