I have just started taking steps with a view to switching my current homeowner loan to a Buy to Let TSB mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I must appoint a conveyancer as part of the process. I had a chat my past Cottesmore conveyancing firm who acted on my behalf when I first bought the house. The quote issued of £575 plus disbursements has taken me by surprise as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The costs illustration is slightly on the steep side. Where you are content to spend time comparing costs you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as £125.

I pay a service charge for my first floor flat in Cottesmore. As a result of poor financial planning I slipped into arrears with remittance. The freeholders agreed a settlement plan but there is still approximately £2000 due in arrears.
I now wish to sell and I am panicking this will threaten to derail the sale if I have to discharge the arrears now. Do I have to settle before - is this viable?
