I am in the throes of changing my domestic home loan to a BTL Skipton Building Society mortgage. The bank has said that I need a lawyer as part of the process. I spoke to my former Paignton conveyancing practitioner who dealt with the legals when I initially acquired the premises. The quote sent of £550 has taken me by surprise as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.
The quote is fractionally on the expensive side. If you you were to look around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as a hundred pounds. That being said, assuming were content with the legal work the firm provided you maylive to regret choosing an a cheaper conveyancer.

My wife and I purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in Paignton. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and HSBC Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Paignton and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the position with the conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Paignton I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Paignton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
I'm refinancing my primary property to a buy to let mortgage with Coventry Building Society and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a down payment on further house. The area we are interested in is Paignton. Will your lawyers be able to act for both sets of banks and link together the conveyances?
