I am in the throes of transferring my current residential mortgage to a Buy to Let The Royal Bank of Scotland mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I must appoint a lawyer for this. I got in contact with the same Foots Cray conveyancing practitioner who who did the conveyancing when I initially purchased the property. The costs illustration supplied of just over five hundred pounds is an eye-watering amount to do this as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s just a straightforward remortgage.
The charges are a bit high. If you are prepared to invest time scrutinising costs you may be able to shave off some of the expense by say £100 plus VAT.

We were going to get a DIP from RBS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do RBS recommend any Foots Cray solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Foots Cray solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.
It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Foots Cray building society branch on numerous occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Foots Cray conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the conveyancer is on the bank panel, they must adhere to the CML Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Planning on purchasing a house in Foots Cray. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Foots Cray conveyancing practitioner is on the Santander conveyancing panel.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we use their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Foots Cray
It is improbable the sellers are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Foots Cray conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will earn their estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Foots Cray. Before I get started I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Foots Cray - 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.
