I have just started taking steps with the aim of porting my existing standard loan to a BTL Barclays Direct mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I need a conveyancer for this. I had a chat my former Thorne conveyancing firm who dealt with the legals when I initially purchased the premises. The costs illustration supplied of £500 has surprised me as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. Where you are prepared to spend time contrasting prices you might trim some of the cost by perhaps £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, providing that you were pleased with the service the firm provided you couldlive to rue opting for an a cheaper solicitor. Remember to enquire that the firm can represent Barclays Direct. You can make use of our search tool to find a Thorne conveyancing firm on the Barclays Direct member panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Thorne.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the process as FTB of a garden flat in Thorne. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Thorne?

Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home.

I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Thorne building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Thorne conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the lawyer is on the bank approved list, they must adhere to the CML Handbook provisions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 remaining.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Skipton are being problematic. The Thorne solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Skipton are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
four months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Thorne concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Thorne before appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor advised that some banks tend not grant a mortgage on this type of property.
