I am in the market for a reasonably priced conveyancer. Should I go for for a national conveyancer as opposed to a local Wantage conveyancing lawyer?
In the main conveyancing practitioners in your area will enjoy strong relationships with your local authority, which could assist with your Wantage conveyancing searches that your conveyancer will need to carry out. It can only be a plus if they enjoy good connections with the Local Land Registry Office your area Wantage, other lawyers in the neighbourhood and Wantage Estate Agents.

I currently have a mortgage with Yorkshire BS for my property in Wantage. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Yorkshire BS?
Your original mortgage agreement with Yorkshire BS will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Yorkshire BS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Yorkshire BS will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Yorkshire BS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel firm.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Wantage. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Wantage conveyancing practitioner is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
