I'm in the process of swapping over from my current homeowner mortgage to a BTL Coventry Building Society mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I require a lawyer for this. I got in contact with my previous The Hale conveyancing firm who acted on my behalf when I originally acquired the property. The costs illustration sent of just over five hundred pounds is an eye-watering amount to do this as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The costs illustration is slightly on the high side. If you are happy to spend time contrasting costs you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say £125. That being said, assuming were content with the conveyancing the firm offered you mightlive to rue opting for an a cheaper solicitor.
