I'm in the process of swapping over from my current homeowner mortgage to a BTL Lloyds TSB Bank mortgage. I was told by my mortgage that I need a solicitor for this. I had a chat my former Withernsea conveyancing practitioner who acted on my behalf when I originally purchased the property. The fee calculation issued of £470 is surprising as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.

The estimate fees seem a little high. If you you were to look around you may be able to reduce the fees marginally by as much as £100 plus VAT. That being said, providing that you were pleased with the legal work the firm provided you maylive to regret choosing an an unknown lawyer. Don't forget to enquire that the firm can also act for Lloyds TSB Bank.

Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Withernsea is more expensive?

In short, leasehold conveyancing in Withernsea and elsewhere usually requires extra due diligence compared to freehold conveyancing. This includes reviewing the lease, liaising with the landlord about the service of appropriate notices, securing up-to-date service charge and management information, securing the freeholder’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – regardless of the fact the lease has passed through many different property solicitors hands since it was first entered into.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Withernsea with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my lawyer about the side-deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
