I have just started taking steps with the intention of switching my current residential loan to a Buy to Let Platform Home Loans Ltd mortgage. The bank has said that I need a solicitor for this. I spoke to my previous Potters Bar conveyancing practitioner who dealt with the legals when I initially bought the property. The fee calculation sent of £470 has taken me by surprise as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.
The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. If you you were to look around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say £100 plus VAT.

How does conveyancing in Potters Bar differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Potters Bar contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Potters Bar usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Potters Bar or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Potters Bar is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Potters Bar are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Potters Bar you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Potters Bar may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
