I'm in the process of changing my domestic loan to a BTL Skipton Building Society mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I must appoint a solicitor for this.

The fee calculation sent of just over five hundred pounds has shocked me as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s just a bog-standard refinance.

When it comes to conveyancing in Hawkhurst seeking recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

It is not clear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Hawkhurst building society branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Hawkhurst conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

Provided that the property lawyer is on the bank panel, they must comply with the CML Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Co-operative. Is it usual for Co-operative to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Hawkhurst is approved on their conveyancing panel? Co-operative have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Co-operative to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the agent informed us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Hawkhurst

It is improbable the owners are behind this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Hawkhurst conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will give their estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
