I have just started taking steps with the intention of transferring my domestic home loan to a BTL Barclays mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I must appoint a conveyancer for this. I got in contact with my previous Dunston conveyancing solicitor who dealt with the legals when I initially acquired the premises. The fee calculation e-mailed to me of £470 is an eye-watering amount to do this as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.
The costs illustration is slightly on the high side. If you are happy to expend time comparing costs you might trim some of the expense by say £100 plus VAT.

Remember to be sure the solicitor can also act for Barclays .

My fiance and I decided to purchase a purpose built flat in Dunston with a residential mortgage from Chelsea Building Society.We use our Dunston conveyancing lawyer but Chelsea Building Society advised that he's not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Chelsea Building Society panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Chelsea Building Society use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the Chelsea Building Society solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Chelsea Building Society
I have todayfound out that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Dunston for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Dunston conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Dunston differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Dunston contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Dunston usually buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Dunston or who has acted in the same development.
