Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Reddish who conducted the legals two years ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from Coventry Building Society. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Should I look for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The quote is slightly on the steep side. If you are willing to expend time comparing prices you may be able to decrease the fees marginally by as much as a hundred pounds. That being said, if you were happy with the assistance the firm offered you mightlive to regret opting for an an unknown lawyer. Remember to check that the solicitor can act for Coventry Building Society.

I currently have a mortgage with Santander for my property in Reddish. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Santander?
Your original mortgage agreement with Santander will provide that you need their approval prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Santander’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Santander will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Santander directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Santander conveyancing panel lawyer.
I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Reddish. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £150. Shortly after, the solicitor contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the HSBC panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Lloyds have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a flat in Reddish has been accepted, what happens next?
The property agent will wish to be informed of your property lawyer's details (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Lloyds or the financial adviser and finish off any relevant documentation. Lloyds will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to arrange a time for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Lloyds will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Reddish.
