I have just started taking steps with a view to transferring my existing standard home loan to a BTL Bank of Ireland mortgage. The bank has said that I need a solicitor as part of the process. I spoke to the same East Bergholt conveyancing practitioner who who conducted the conveyancing when I initially bought the house. The costs illustration issued of £450 plus VAT is an eye-watering amount to do this as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s simply a bog-standard refinance.
The estimate does seem a little overpriced. If you are content to expend time contrasting costs you might trim some of the expense by say £100 plus VAT. That being said, providing that you were content with the assistance the firm gave you mightlive to regret choosing an an unknown solicitor. Don't forget to enquire the conveyancer can represent Bank of Ireland.

Having read lots of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local East Bergholt solicitor - who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Yorkshire BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Yorkshire BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own East Bergholt surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Yorkshire BS have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in East Bergholt has been accepted, what happens next?
Your property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (make sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s approved list). Contact Yorkshire BS or your broker and finalise any relevant forms. Yorkshire BS will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or owners to book a slot for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Yorkshire BS will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in East Bergholt.

I bought a 2 bed flat in East Bergholt, conveyancing formalities finalised 10 years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding properties in East Bergholt with over 90 years remaining are worth £175,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2083
You have 58 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £23,800 and £27,400 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
I am just shy of a 10% deposit on my apartment purchase in East Bergholt , but I still want to go ahead. What can I do?
You can agree a lower deposit. Most vendors will agree to a lesser deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
