I am in the throes of porting my existing standard loan to a Buy to Let TSB mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I must appoint a conveyancer for this. I got in contact with my past Swiss Cottage conveyancing practitioner who acted on my behalf when I first bought the premises. The quote they've given of £575 plus disbursements has shocked me as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The estimate does seem a little on the high side. If you are content to expend time scrutinising quotes you could trim some of the cost by as much as £125. That being said, providing that you were content with the service the firm provided you maycome to rue choosing an an untested lawyer. Don't forget to be sure the solicitor can act for TSB.

The Swiss Cottage conveyancing firm handling our Swiss Cottage conveyancing has discovered a discrepancy between the information in the home valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he is duty bound to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach legitimate?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions 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 have recentlybeen informed that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Swiss Cottage for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Swiss Cottage conveyancing specialists.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial premises in Swiss Cottage and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to gives protection to commercial tenants, giving them the a statutory right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
