I have just started taking steps with the aim of switching my existing standard mortgage to a BTL Barclays mortgage. The bank has said that I require a conveyancer for this. I got in contact with the same Linslade conveyancing practitioner who who did the conveyancing when I initially bought the property. The costs illustration supplied of just over five hundred pounds has surprised me as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s simply a bog-standard refinance.

We had instructed conveyancing lawyers with offices in Linslade on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a further fee for the legal aspects of the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Bank of Ireland?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer can charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by Bank of Ireland but by your Linslade solicitor. Some firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
My offer was accepted on a house in Linslade on 2/2/2026, valuation was booked 2 days after, all came back fine. Conveyancer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Lloyds and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
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 Lloyds to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

A high street Linslade conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an online conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Linslade. Having lived in Linslade for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
