I'm in the process of swapping over from my domestic mortgage to a Buy to Let Barclays mortgage. I was told by my mortgage that I must appoint a conveyancer for this. I got in contact with my previous Wroxham conveyancing solicitor who dealt with the legals when I first bought the property. The costs illustration provided of £550 has surprised me as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The estimate fees seem a tad high. If you shop around you might decrease the fees slightly by as much as £125. That being said, providing that you were content with the service the firm gave you mightlive to regret opting for an an unknown conveyancer. Remember to enquire that the solicitor can act for Barclays .

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Wroxham? Is this really warranted?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Wroxham conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing where you live.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are obliged by law to ascertain not just the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may lead to your lawyer terminating their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your property lawyers will have an obligation to make a disclosure to the relevant authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
We are selling our home in Wroxham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Wroxham. Having lived in Wroxham for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
How does conveyancing in Wroxham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Wroxham contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in Wroxham usually buy the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Wroxham 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 two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Wroxham is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Wroxham are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wroxham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wroxham may determine 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.
