I'm in the process of transferring my current homeowner mortgage to a BTL Chelsea Building Society mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I need a conveyancer for this. I spoke to the same Surrey Quays conveyancing firm who dealt with the legals when I initially bought the property. The quote sent of just over five hundred pounds has taken me by surprise as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.
The quote is fractionally on the expensive side. If you you were to look around you might reduce the fees marginally by as much as £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, if you were content with the legal work the firm offered you maylive to regret choosing an a cheaper conveyancer. Don't forget to be sure that the conveyancer can act for Chelsea Building Society.
