I'm in the process of porting my current residential home loan to a Buy to Let TSB mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I must appoint a solicitor for this. I had a chat the same Llanarth conveyancing solicitor who acted on my behalf when I previously bought the premises. The costs estimate supplied of £500 has surprised me as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s just a bog-standard refinance.
The estimate fees appear a tad high. If you you were to look around you might reduce the fees slightly by say £100 plus VAT.

I am buying a house without a mortgage in Llanarth. I have been living for the previous 20 years in Llanarth. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Llanarth conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will try and steer you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to take into account; if you are intend to dispose of the house at a future date, it may be of importance to your prospective purchaser what the searches contain. There are plenty of instances where premises with day to day issues can still show up detrimental search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Llanarth will provide you some constructive guidance concerning this.
We previously chose solicitors based in Llanarth on the RBS solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a further charge for the legal aspects of the RBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by RBS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by RBS but by your Llanarth property lawyer. Numerous firms on the RBS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
Can I be sure that the Llanarth conveyancing solicitor on the RBS panel is any good?

We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.
I had an offer accepted on a house in Llanarth on 25/2/2026, valuation was booked five days later, all came back fine. Property lawyer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Nottingham and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Are Nottingham entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nottingham to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Llanarth. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the service charge as you normally would as all ground rent and maintenance charges will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
