I'm in the process of swapping over from my existing standard home loan to a BTL Bank of Scotland mortgage. The bank has said that I require a solicitor for this. I had a chat my past Bramley conveyancing solicitor who dealt with the legals when I previously acquired the property. The fee calculation sent of just over five hundred pounds is an eye-watering amount to do this as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The estimate does seem a little overpriced. If you are willing to expend time contrasting charges you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, if you were happy with the service the firm provided you mightlive to rue choosing an an unknown solicitor. Remember to ensure the conveyancer can act for Bank of Scotland.

I do hope you can assist me. My Bramley conveyancer is informing me me that he is legally obliged toorder Bramley conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the HSBCsolicitor panel. Do I not have any say here?
You have limited options available to you. As you are taking a home loan with a bank your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Bramley conveyancing searches.
Are the Bramley conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Aldermore?
Bramley conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Aldermore directly.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Bramley with a loan from Halifax. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
