I am in the throes of swapping over from my current residential home loan to a BTL The Royal Bank of Scotland mortgage. The bank has said that I require a lawyer for this. I spoke to the same Wootton Bridge conveyancing practitioner who dealt with the legals when I first bought the property. The costs illustration supplied of £470 has taken me by surprise as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The quote is fractionally on the steep side. If you are willing to expend time comparing charges you may be able to decrease the fees marginally by say a hundred pounds.

I am considering applying for a RBS mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Wootton Bridge with 65 per cent LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for RBS ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but RBS will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
I have been told that property searches are a common reason for hinderance in Wootton Bridge house deals. Is that correct?

3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Wootton Bridge concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
