We expect to receive a AIP from Bank of Ireland this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Bank of Ireland recommend any Norbury solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Norbury solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Bank of Ireland through the process.

I currently have a mortgage with RBS for my property in Norbury. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months 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 BTL mortgage or inform RBS?

RBS must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of RBS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let 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 RBS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a RBS conveyancing panel firm.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Norbury. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £225. Not long after, the lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Santander conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Santander panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I have been recommended by a number of estate agents in Norbury to locate a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your site rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to make any financial incentive for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

Is it best to instruct a Norbury conveyancing lawyer based in the location that I am hoping to buy? An old friend can conduct the conveyancing however they are based 200kilometers drive away.

The benefit of a local Norbury conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to sign paperwork, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Norbury know how is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and in the main were impressed that must surpass using an unknown Norbury conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
