I'm in the process of swapping over from my current homeowner loan to a Buy to Let Barclays Direct mortgage. The bank has said that I need a solicitor for this. I got in contact with my previous Newcastle Emlyn conveyancing practitioner who who completed the conveyancing when I previously acquired the premises. The quote sent of £500 has surprised me as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s just a bog-standard refinance.

My partner and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Newcastle Emlyn and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?
The conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to clarify with lender to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only report this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I just bought a property at auction in Newcastle Emlyn. Conveyancing is needed. What are my next steps?
Having legally bound yourself to purchase you now have to choose a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you are faced with a pending deadline in which to complete the transaction. All auction property should have a bespoke auction pack. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. In the case of leasehold premises the auction pack may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to leasehold premises. You must give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that you have funds in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I have a mortgage with Coventry BS for my property in Newcastle Emlyn. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Coventry BS?
Your original mortgage agreement with Coventry BS will provide that you need their approval prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry BS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Coventry BS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor.
It is not clear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Newcastle Emlyn building society branch on various occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Newcastle Emlyn conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the property lawyer is on the bank approved list, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
