I am in the throes of switching my current residential home loan to a Buy to Let Yorkshire Building Society mortgage. The bank has said that I require a conveyancer for this. I spoke to the same Croydon conveyancing firm who dealt with the legals when I first bought the house. The costs illustration supplied of just over five hundred pounds is surprising as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The costs illustration is slightly on the high side. If you are prepared to spend time contrasting charges you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps a hundred pounds. On the other hand, if you were satisfied with the service the firm gave you couldcome to rue choosing an an unknown conveyancer. Don't forget to ensure the firm can represent Yorkshire Building Society.

We are soon to complete buying a house in Croydon but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the current proprietors in the sum of £3k taking the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however Co-operative are not allowing this. Why were they notified?
Any conveyancing practitioner being on a Co-operative conveyancing panel is required to inform Co-operative of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to disclose the reduction to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Croydon.
At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Croydon and do I need to attend the solicitors office?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Croydon you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the law practices we work with offer a countrywide conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Croydon)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
