I'm in the process of switching my current residential mortgage to a BTL Leeds Building Society mortgage. The bank has said that I must appoint a conveyancer for this. I spoke to my former Carmarthen conveyancing solicitor who dealt with the legals when I previously bought the premises. The costs estimate they've given of £470 has taken me by surprise as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s simply a straightforward remortgage.
The estimate does seem a little on the high side. Where you are prepared to spend time comparing costs you could decrease the fees slightly by as much as £125. That being said, providing that you were pleased with the service the firm gave you couldcome to regret opting for an a cheaper conveyancer.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Carmarthen. Before I get started I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Carmarthen - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
