I'm in the process of switching my current homeowner mortgage to a BTL Bank of Ireland mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I need a solicitor as part of the process. I got in contact with my past East Barnet conveyancing solicitor who acted on my behalf when I previously bought the premises. The quote sent of just over five hundred pounds has shocked me as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.
The estimate fees are a little high. If you shop around you might decrease the fees slightly by perhaps £100 plus VAT. That being said, providing that you were pleased with the service the firm gave you maycome to regret opting for an a cheaper conveyancer. Remember to check that the conveyancer can act for Bank of Ireland.

My partner and I are refinancing our penthouse in East Barnet with TSB. We have a son 18 who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the flat is forfeited by the lender. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the TSB conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we purchased 3 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your TSB conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to TSB. This is solely used to protect TSB if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of TSB had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
