I'm in the process of porting my domestic mortgage to a Buy to Let TSB mortgage. The bank has said that I must appoint a lawyer for this. I had a chat the same Bedford Park conveyancing solicitor who acted on my behalf when I previously purchased the property. The pricing estimate they've given of just over five hundred pounds has shocked me as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s simply a straightforward remortgage.
The estimate fees appear a bit high. If you are content to spend time comparing quotes you might trim some of the expense by perhaps £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, if you were happy with the service the firm offered you mightlive to regret choosing an an unknown conveyancer. Remember to check that the solicitor can act for TSB.

The Bedford Park conveyancing firm handling our Bedford Park conveyancing has uncovered a discrepancy between the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor has advised that he is duty bound to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action appropriate?
Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
This question may be naive but I am new to the house moving as FTB of a garden flat in Bedford Park. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Bedford Park?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
I'm the single recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Bedford Park. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
We previously chose conveyancers located in Bedford Park on the Principality solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further charge for the legal aspects of the Principality mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Principality?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner can charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Principality but by your Bedford Park lawyer. Numerous firms on the Principality panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
