I am in the throes of switching my current residential mortgage to a Buy to Let Nottingham Building Society mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I must appoint a conveyancer for this. I got in contact with my past Euxton conveyancing solicitor who dealt with the legals when I first acquired the property. The fee calculation supplied of £500 has taken me by surprise as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s just a straightforward remortgage.
The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. If you you were to look around you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say a hundred pounds. On the other hand, assuming were pleased with the assistance the firm offered you mightcome to regret opting for an a cheaper lawyer.

My partner and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a property in Euxton and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your solicitor is duty bound to check with lender to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only reveal this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Euxton I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Euxton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

strictly speaking you should not need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Euxton based
