I have just started taking steps with a view to switching my domestic mortgage to a Buy to Let Platform Home Loans Ltd mortgage. I was told by my mortgage that I need a lawyer as part of the process. I spoke to my past Bow Street conveyancing firm who who did the conveyancing when I originally acquired the house. The fee calculation e-mailed to me of £450 plus VAT has shocked me as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The quote is fractionally on the steep side. If you are content to invest time contrasting prices you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as a hundred pounds.

I have todaybeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Bow Street for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I establish that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Bow Street conveyancing specialists.
I'm buying a new build house in Bow Street with a loan from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my lawyer about the deal as it would affect my mortgage with Platform Home Loans Ltd. Is this normal?.
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.

Almost all residences in Bow Street should show up. Have you limited your search to simply the postcode. Normally it should mention all the houses and flats inside that postcode. Where recorded it will show up with a title number. Where they bought fifty years ago it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The address might still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title papers which may be with your parent’s lender.
