I have just started taking steps with the intention of porting my current residential home loan to a BTL Accord Mortgages Ltd mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I must appoint a lawyer for this. I got in contact with the same Barlaston and Tittensor conveyancing practitioner who dealt with the legals when I originally bought the property. The fee calculation provided of £550 is an eye-watering amount to do this as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.
The charges appear a tad high. If you shop around you might decrease the fees marginally by as much as £100 plus VAT.

We were just about to exchange contracts for a ground floor flat in Barlaston and Tittensor. We have hit a snag. Our mortgage offer with Accord Mortgages Ltd runs out on 16/2/2026 but the owners are insisting on a completion date of 18/2/2026. Is it possible to extend the mortgage expiry date?
The person best placed to address this concern is your solicitors who should calculate if they corresponding with the lender, owner’s lawyers, property agents or indeed all parties given the history of your house move to date.
I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would much rather instruct a Barlaston and Tittensor based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the probability is that give you one of their panel solicitors should you want the "fee-free" deal. Call the lender to determine if they allow a cash alternative.
