Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Burghfield Common

Recently contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Burghfield Common who acted for me two years ago requesting a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a home loan from TSB. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Should I hunt for a cheaper internet conveyancer?

The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. If you are content to expend time comparing costs you could shave off some of the expense by perhaps a hundred pounds. That being said, providing that you were content with the conveyancing the firm provided you mightcome to regret choosing an an unknown solicitor. Remember to enquire the firm can represent TSB.

We previously appointed conveyancing lawyers based in Burghfield Common on the HSBC solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional amount for the legal aspects of the HSBC mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by HSBC?

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by HSBC but by your Burghfield Common property lawyer.

I have a mortgage with Skipton for my property in Burghfield Common. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Skipton?

Your original mortgage agreement with Skipton will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Skipton’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Skipton will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Skipton directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Skipton conveyancing panel solicitor.

Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week to get a mortgage offer. RBS will send the offer to you and your property lawyers.
