I have just started taking steps with the intention of transferring my existing standard mortgage to a BTL Barclays Direct mortgage. The bank has said that I need a conveyancer as part of the process. I spoke to my past Mansfield Woodhouse conveyancing solicitor who dealt with the legals when I originally purchased the premises. The quote issued of just over five hundred pounds is an eye-watering amount to do this as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s simply a bog-standard refinance.
The estimate does seem a tad on the high side. If you are prepared to spend time contrasting quotes you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps a hundred pounds. That being said, providing that you were pleased with the service the firm provided you mightcome to rue choosing an a cheaper conveyancer.

My brother and I have recently purchased a property in Mansfield Woodhouse. We have noticed several issues with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Mansfield Woodhouse?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Mansfield Woodhouse. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor answers a form called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be incorrect, then you may have a claim against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Mansfield Woodhouse.

The deeds to our house can not be found. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Mansfield Woodhouse 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?

It is easy to execute a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and obtain current copies of the property title for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for £20 inclusive of VAT.
I have been recommended by numerous selling agents in Mansfield Woodhouse to find a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your services over a competitor’s?
We refuse to offer any financial incentive for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
