I have just started taking steps with the aim of swapping over from my current residential home loan to a Buy to Let Platform Home Loans Ltd mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I must appoint a conveyancer for this. I got in contact with my previous Blyth conveyancing practitioner who acted on my behalf when I previously acquired the house. The pricing estimate e-mailed to me of £470 has shocked me as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s simply a bog-standard refinance.
The estimate does seem a little on the high side. If you shop around you may be able to trim some of the cost by say a hundred pounds.

Please explain the implications if my solicitor is expelled from the UBS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Blyth?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Blyth registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
