I am in the throes of swapping over from my current residential loan to a BTL Halifax mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I need a solicitor for this. I spoke to the same Flitwick conveyancing solicitor who who conducted the conveyancing when I previously bought the property. The fee estimate issued of £500 has taken me by surprise as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The estimate does seem a little on the high side. If you are prepared to invest time comparing costs you could decrease the fees marginally by perhaps £125. On the other hand, providing that you were pleased with the conveyancing the firm gave you mightlive to regret opting for an a cheaper lawyer. If is important to check that the firm can represent Halifax.

Our son-in-law is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Flitwick with a mortgage from Kent Reliance. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
