I am in the throes of changing my current homeowner home loan to a Buy to Let Alliance & Leicester mortgage. I was told by my mortgage that I must appoint a solicitor for this. I got in contact with the same Coedpoeth conveyancing firm who acted on my behalf when I originally acquired the house. The fee estimate supplied of just over five hundred pounds is surprising as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s just a straightforward remortgage.
The estimate does seem a little steep. If you shop around you might trim some of the cost by perhaps £125. On the other hand, assuming were happy with the conveyancing the firm offered you maylive to rue opting for an an unknown solicitor.

My wife and I are getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Coedpoeth and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my lawyer needs to disclose this 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 not just from me. I advised the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?
The lawyer is duty bound to check with the bank to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Coedpoeth for our house purchase. Our financial adviser has since notified us that our mortgage company Bank of Scotland won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?
Banks on the whole imposes restrictions either the category or the volume of conveyancing solicitors on their member panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must not be a sole practitioner. As well as restricting the profile of firm, a few lenders have decided to limit the number of solicitor practices they permit to represent them. Be aware that Bank of Scotland have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Bank of Scotland Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there remains differing opinions about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry reveal that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Coedpoeth only carry out very few conveyances a year.
