I am in the throes of changing my current residential mortgage to a Buy to Let Aldermore mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I need a lawyer as part of the process. I had a chat my former Newham conveyancing practitioner who dealt with the legals when I originally acquired the house. The costs illustration supplied of £500 is an eye-watering amount to do this as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The estimate does seem a tad steep. If you shop around you may be able to trim some of the cost by perhaps a hundred pounds.

In the event thatI was to purchase a freehold housein Newham for cash and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Newham?
Any savings you would make will be isolated to the Newham conveyancing searches. The property lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with the sellers conveyancer, SDLT submission, register the ownership etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage but it won't be a lot.
Just bought a terraced house in Newham , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Newham conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my ownership is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Newham registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Last February I purchased a leasehold house in Newham. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
