I'm in the process of swapping over from my domestic loan to a BTL Aldermore mortgage. I was told by my mortgage that I require a solicitor for this. I had a chat the same Matlock conveyancing practitioner who who conducted the conveyancing when I previously acquired the premises. The fee calculation e-mailed to me of £500 has taken me by surprise as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The estimate does seem a tad on the high side. Where you are happy to spend time contrasting costs you may be able to decrease the fees slightly by say a hundred pounds.

The Matlock conveyancing firm handling our Matlock conveyancing has discovered a difference when comparing the information in the valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor has advised that he must check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s approach right?
Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

I’m about to sell my 2 bed flat in Matlock. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently had a quarterly service charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would because all rents and maintenance invoices should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
