I'm in the process of swapping over from my current homeowner mortgage to a BTL Virgin Money mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I must appoint a solicitor as part of the process. I spoke to my past March conveyancing firm who dealt with the legals when I originally purchased the house. The quote issued of £470 has surprised me as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.

The estimate does seem a little steep. If you are content to expend time contrasting costs you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps a hundred pounds. On the other hand, assuming were pleased with the assistance the firm offered you maylive to regret opting for an a cheaper conveyancer. Remember to ensure that the firm can also act for Virgin Money. You can utilise our search tool to locate a March conveyancing firm on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in March.

I am buying a property mortgage free in March. I have lived for the previous twelve years in March. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I know the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a home loan, then all but one or two of the March conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she has a professional duty to do this. Do consider; if you are likely to dispose of the house at a future date, it may be of importance to your prospective buyer what the searches reveal. There are plenty of instances where houses with day to day issues can still show up unpredicted search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in March will provide you some constructive advice here.
