I'm in the process of changing my existing standard mortgage to a BTL Santander mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I need a lawyer as part of the process. I got in contact with the same Basinghall conveyancing practitioner who acted on my behalf when I previously acquired the house. The quote supplied of £500 is surprising as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.
The estimate does seem a little overpriced. If you shop around you might decrease the fees marginally by perhaps £100 plus VAT. That being said, assuming were happy with the assistance the firm provided you maycome to regret choosing an a cheaper solicitor. If is important to ensure that the firm can act for Santander.

My wife and I own a semi-detached Edwardian property in Basinghall. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Basinghall and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Basinghall is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Basinghall are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Basinghall you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Basinghall 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 premises.
