I'm in the process of porting my current residential loan to a Buy to Let The Royal Bank of Scotland mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I require a conveyancer as part of the process. I spoke to my past Broxbourne conveyancing solicitor who acted on my behalf when I previously bought the premises. The fee calculation provided of just over five hundred pounds is surprising as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s just a bog-standard refinance.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Kent Reliance Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Broxbourne?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
Can you help - my lawyer advises that breach of easement insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Broxbourne conveyancing?

How does conveyancing in Broxbourne differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Broxbourne contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Broxbourne typically purchase the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Broxbourne or who has acted in the same development.
