I have just started taking steps with the intention of switching my current homeowner home loan to a Buy to Let Nationwide Building Society mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I need a conveyancer for this. I got in contact with my past Heswall conveyancing firm who dealt with the legals when I first bought the property. The quote supplied of £575 plus disbursements is surprising as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The costs illustration is slightly on the high side. Where you are prepared to invest time comparing costs you may be able to decrease the fees marginally by perhaps £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, if you were happy with the conveyancing the firm gave you maycome to regret opting for an an untested conveyancer. Don't forget to enquire that the solicitor can represent Nationwide Building Society.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Heswall. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Nottingham have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Nottingham your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nottingham. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Nottingham where a lease does not comply with these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Heswall.

I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage".

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Heswall solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
Our sealed bid on a property in Heswall has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on somewhere, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Heswall. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Skipton?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Heswall conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Skipton and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancer to move forward with the conveyancing in Heswall.
