I'm in the process of changing my existing standard loan to a Buy to Let The Mortgage Works mortgage. I was told by my mortgage that I require a solicitor for this. I spoke to my past East Sheen conveyancing firm who dealt with the legals when I initially purchased the property. The quote issued of £500 has shocked me as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The costs illustration is slightly on the high side. If you are content to spend time contrasting quotes you could shave off some of the cost by say a hundred pounds. On the other hand, providing that you were content with the assistance the firm gave you couldlive to regret opting for an an unknown conveyancer. Don't forget to enquire that the firm can also act for The Mortgage Works.

Please help. My East Sheen solicitor is informing me me that he has toorder East Sheen conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the Virgin Moneysolicitor panel. These East Sheen searches cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a home loan with a mortgage company your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out East Sheen conveyancing searches.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would much rather appoint a specialised conveyancing solicitor in East Sheen?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors should you accept the "fee-free" offer. Contact the bank and ask if they offer you a monetary alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near East Sheen.
