I am in the throes of transferring my current residential home loan to a Buy to Let Yorkshire Building Society mortgage. The bank has said that I need a conveyancer for this. I got in contact with my previous Easingwold conveyancing solicitor who dealt with the legals when I initially acquired the property. The costs illustration they've given of just over five hundred pounds has shocked me as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The estimate fees appear a little high. If you are happy to spend time contrasting charges you might trim some of the expense by perhaps £125.

is it true that all Easingwold solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Nationwide approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Easingwold. I have a mortgage offer with RBS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel.
It is not clear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Easingwold bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Easingwold conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
The conveyancing practitioner has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
The deeds to our home are lost. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Easingwold 4 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Easingwold is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Easingwold are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Easingwold you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Easingwold may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
