I'm in the process of transferring my current homeowner home loan to a Buy to Let National Westminster Bank mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I need a conveyancer as part of the process. I had a chat the same Aldgate conveyancing firm who who did the conveyancing when I originally bought the premises. The costs illustration provided of £470 is an eye-watering amount to do this as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s simply a straightforward remortgage.
The estimate does seem a little steep. If you you were to look around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £125.

I am getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Aldgate and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
The conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to check with mortgage company to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only report this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
I am purchasing my first flat in Aldgate benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not to tell my solicitor about the extras as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
