I have just started taking steps with a view to swapping over from my current homeowner loan to a Buy to Let The Mortgage Works mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I must appoint a solicitor for this. I got in contact with the same Felling and Pelaw conveyancing firm who acted on my behalf when I first purchased the property. The quote provided of just over five hundred pounds is surprising as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The quote is slightly on the high side. If you shop around you could shave off some of the expense by as much as £125. That being said, assuming were content with the service the firm provided you mightlive to regret choosing an an unknown lawyer. Don't forget to enquire the solicitor can act for The Mortgage Works.

As someone unfamiliar with the Felling and Pelaw conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can impart for the ownership transfer in Felling and Pelaw
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Felling and Pelaw and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the seller, estate agent and on occasion your mortgage company. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Felling and Pelaw should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose responsibility is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
There is a distinct ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be blamed for the process being so protracted. You should always trust your conveyancer ahead of all other players when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

My son is just in the process of moving house, he had his mortgage in principle. After the offer was accepted on flat we contacted the lender to issue the formal offer. I was shocked to learn that mortgage companies do not accept all conveyancing practitioner, they must be on their panel, is this legal?
Lenders normally imposes restrictions either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Felling and Pelaw conveyancer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Unlikely.
