I'm in the process of transferring my current homeowner mortgage to a Buy to Let Lloyds TSB Bank mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I need a solicitor for this. I got in contact with my former Capel St Mary conveyancing solicitor who acted on my behalf when I first bought the house. The costs estimate provided of £470 has surprised me as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The costs illustration is slightly on the expensive side. If you you were to look around you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say a hundred pounds. That being said, if you were satisfied with the legal work the firm gave you maylive to regret choosing an an untested solicitor. If is important to ensure the solicitor can represent Lloyds TSB Bank.

I own a renovated Georgian house in Capel St Mary. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Birmingham Midshires. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Capel St Mary and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
I am buying a new build house in Capel St Mary with a mortgage from Yorkshire Building Society. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it will affect my mortgage with Yorkshire Building Society. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

I was recommended by a few estate agents in Capel St Mary to find a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your services ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t offer any referral fee for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's preferred lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Capel St Mary
It is highly unlikely the sellers are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Capel St Mary conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by corporate headquarters.
