I'm in the process of swapping over from my current homeowner loan to a BTL Norwich and Peterborough Building Society mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I need a solicitor for this. I spoke to my past Penmaenmawr conveyancing practitioner who dealt with the legals when I previously purchased the premises. The fee estimate sent of £470 has shocked me as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The estimate fees appear a tad high. If you shop around you could trim some of the expense by as much as a hundred pounds. That being said, assuming were satisfied with the legal work the firm provided you couldcome to rue choosing an an untested solicitor.

Our son is in the process of securing a newly built flat in Penmaenmawr with a home loan from Yorkshire BS. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
It is a dozen years since I acquired my house in Penmaenmawr. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I can't track down my title documents. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Penmaenmawr involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Penmaenmawr I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Penmaenmawr suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
