I am in the throes of porting my existing standard mortgage to a Buy to Let Nationwide Building Society mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I require a solicitor for this. I spoke to my previous Sutton conveyancing solicitor who acted on my behalf when I previously bought the premises. The quote e-mailed to me of £500 has shocked me as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The estimate does seem a tad steep. If you you were to look around you could reduce the fees marginally by perhaps £125. On the other hand, if you were content with the conveyancing the firm offered you maylive to regret opting for an a cheaper solicitor. Don't forget to be sure that the solicitor can also act for Nationwide Building Society.

Will my solicitor be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Sutton.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Sutton. Plenty of people will buy a house in Sutton, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that may be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Sutton. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the vendor to determine if the property has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser could commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading answer. A purchaser’s lawyers may also commission an environmental search. This will indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be carried out.
