I have just started taking steps with a view to switching my domestic mortgage to a BTL Barnsley Building Society mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I must appoint a conveyancer as part of the process. I got in contact with my previous Hayling Island conveyancing practitioner who dealt with the legals when I originally purchased the house. The quote issued of £575 plus disbursements has shocked me as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.
The estimate does seem a little on the high side. If you shop around you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say £100 plus VAT. That being said, if you were happy with the assistance the firm gave you maylive to rue choosing an an unknown lawyer. Don't forget to enquire that the conveyancer can represent Barnsley Building Society. Do employ our search tool to find a Hayling Island conveyancing firm on the Barnsley Building Society member panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Hayling Island.
