I am in the throes of swapping over from my domestic home loan to a Buy to Let Birmingham Midshires mortgage. I was told by my mortgage that I need a conveyancer as part of the process. I got in contact with my past Admaston conveyancing solicitor who dealt with the legals when I initially bought the property. The costs estimate e-mailed to me of £550 is an eye-watering amount to do this as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.
The quote is slightly on the expensive side. If you shop around you could shave off some of the cost by say £125.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Admaston conveyancing lawyers were appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Clydesdale?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Clydesdale conducted the survey? Have you informed Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nationwide. Is it usual for Nationwide to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Admaston is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nationwide have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

The property agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the lawyers are on the lender’s panel). Contact Coventry BS or the financial adviser and finalise any relevant documentation.

Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Coventry BS will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Admaston.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Admaston is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Admaston are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Admaston you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Admaston may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
We have chosen a Admaston conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (first time buyers) and have noticed in the Ts and Cs that they are not covered by the FCA. Should I be concerned or is that usually the case with solicitor?
We can't see why they should be. Most conveyancer don't lend money. They will be governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who have specific conditions regulating monies sitting by them.
