I have been informed by my broker that I require a lawyer for this. I had a chat the same Berkshire conveyancing firm who who did the conveyancing when I previously purchased the property. The fee calculation supplied of £550 is an eye-watering amount to do this as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The estimate does seem a little steep. If you you were to look around you might shave off some of the expense by perhaps £125.
