I have just started taking steps with a view to porting my current homeowner home loan to a Buy to Let Godiva Mortgages Ltd mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I require a solicitor as part of the process. I spoke to the same Fawley conveyancing firm who dealt with the legals when I first purchased the property. The costs estimate sent of £500 is surprising as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The estimate does seem a tad on the high side. If you you were to look around you may be able to reduce the fees slightly by as much as £125. On the other hand, if you were happy with the conveyancing the firm gave you maycome to regret choosing an a cheaper lawyer. Remember to enquire that the solicitor can act for Godiva Mortgages Ltd.

What happens if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Coventry BS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Fawley?
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.
