Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Bridlington who completed the legal work two years ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society. I am now being quoted double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper internet property lawyer?

I currently have a mortgage with Co-operative for my property in Bridlington. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. If I am intending 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 Co-operative?
Co-operative must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Co-operative’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies 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 Co-operative directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Co-operative conveyancing panel lawyer.

How does conveyancing in Bridlington differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Bridlington come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Bridlington typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Bridlington or who has acted in the same development.
