I'm in the process of porting my domestic home loan to a Buy to Let Skipton Building Society mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I need a solicitor as part of the process. I got in contact with my previous Porthcawl conveyancing solicitor who dealt with the legals when I previously bought the property. The fee calculation sent of £550 is surprising as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The estimate fees are a little high. If you you were to look around you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as a hundred pounds.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Clydesdale Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Porthcawl?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
