I'm in the process of switching my current homeowner mortgage to a BTL Nottingham Building Society mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I must appoint a lawyer as part of the process. I spoke to my former Barlestone conveyancing solicitor who dealt with the legals when I initially bought the property. The fee estimate sent of £470 has surprised me as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s simply a straightforward remortgage.
The estimate does seem a little overpriced. If you you were to look around you could shave off some of the cost by say £125. That being said, if you were content with the legal work the firm gave you couldlive to regret opting for an a cheaper conveyancer.

I have paid off my mortgage with Skipton. I assume I don't need a Barlestone conveyancer on the Skipton panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Skipton mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Skipton mortgage from the register. Skipton, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Skipton has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Skipton has instructed the Land Registry to do so
About to purchase maisonette in Barlestone. 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 Yorkshire BS 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 Barlestone conveyancer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Barlestone differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Barlestone come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because house builders in Barlestone typically 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 Barlestone or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Barlestone is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Barlestone are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Barlestone you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Barlestone may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
