I have just started taking steps with a view to transferring my existing standard mortgage to a Buy to Let Nationwide Building Society mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I require a conveyancer as part of the process. I got in contact with the same Frimley conveyancing practitioner who dealt with the legals when I first acquired the house. The fee calculation issued of £470 is surprising as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.
The quote is fractionally on the steep side. If you are happy to spend time comparing costs you could trim some of the cost by perhaps £125. On the other hand, providing that you were satisfied with the conveyancing the firm offered you couldlive to rue opting for an an unknown solicitor.

When does exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Frimley and am I required to be at the conveyancers branch?
If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Frimley you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the law practices we work with supply a national conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Frimley)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would much rather use a Frimley based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the chances are that give you one of their panel conveyancers should you accept the "fee-free" offer. Contact the bank to see if they make available a monetary alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Frimley.
I am expecting a DIP from Skipton this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Frimley solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Frimley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Barclays are being problematic. The Frimley solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Barclays are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Barclays have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Barclays may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nottingham. Is it usual for Nottingham to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Frimley is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nottingham have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nottingham to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in Frimley and how can your lawyers assist?
