FAQs
What is the difference between residential and investment property purchases?
Investment properties are typically bought to rent out or resell at a profit, which comes with different legal, tax, and mortgage requirements compared to buying a home to live in.
Do I need a solicitor for a buy-to-let purchase?
Yes. A solicitor is required to handle the legal title, mortgage conditions, and any tenancy-related matters involved in a buy-to-let purchase.
What legal checks are needed for an investment property?
We check title ownership, planning, restrictions, tenancy agreements, and whether the property is compliant with HMO or rental regulations.
Can I buy a property with tenants already occupying?
Yes, this is called buying with “sitting tenants.” We’ll review the tenancy and ensure the legal protections transfer correctly to you.
Are there additional costs with buying investment properties?
Yes. You may pay a higher rate of Stamp Duty as well as mortgage arrangement fees and ongoing landlord costs.
What is an HMO and do I need a licence?
We offer clear, upfront pricing with no hidden costs. Fees vary depending on the type and value of the property — contact us for a tailored quote.
Do I need a property survey for my new purchase?
Yes, a survey checks the physical condition of the property. We focus on the legal side; a surveyor will assess structural integrity and highlight any repairs. We always recommend to our clients to have a survey carried out on the property they are hoping to purchase.
Can I get a mortgage for an investment property?
Yes, but it will usually be a buy-to-let mortgage. Your lender may have specific legal requirements which we will ensure are met.
Why choose Kempton Redman Law for my investment purchase?
