I am in the throes of switching my current homeowner mortgage to a Buy to Let Leeds Building Society mortgage. I was told by my mortgage that I need a conveyancer as part of the process. I got in contact with my past Leamington Spa conveyancing solicitor who who completed the conveyancing when I initially acquired the property. The pricing estimate issued of £450 plus VAT is surprising as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The estimate does seem a little steep. If you are willing to expend time contrasting prices you might shave off some of the expense by as much as a hundred pounds. On the other hand, if you were content with the legal work the firm gave you mightcome to regret choosing an an unknown lawyer. Remember to be sure that the conveyancer can represent Leeds Building Society. You can utilise our search tool to get a quote a Leamington Spa conveyancing firm on the Leeds Building Society approved list of lawyers, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Leamington Spa.
We're in Leamington Spa, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is Clydesdale , and our lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Leamington Spa took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

The primary upside of using a local Leamington Spa conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, present your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and on the whole were content that should trump using an unknown Leamington Spa conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being Leamington Spa based.
