Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Kentish Town who acted for me 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. It looks as though am now being charged double. Better the devil I know or should I try and find a cheaper internet conveyancer?
The charges appear a tad high. Where you are willing to invest time scrutinising prices you might reduce the fees slightly by perhaps a hundred pounds. On the other hand, assuming were happy with the legal work the firm provided you maylive to rue choosing an an untested conveyancer. Don't forget to be sure that the conveyancer can act for Lloyds TSB Bank.

My uncle passed away last year and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Kentish Town. The house had a small mortgage left on it of around £4500. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to UBS, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
If you intend to re-mortgage then UBS will insist on your using a conveyancer on the UBS conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate.

We previously selected conveyancing lawyers locally in Kentish Town on the Yorkshire BS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental charge for handling the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Yorkshire BS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Yorkshire BS but by your Kentish Town solicitor. Some firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
