I have just started taking steps with the intention of porting my existing standard loan to a BTL TSB mortgage. I was told by my mortgage that I need a lawyer as part of the process. I had a chat the same Toddington conveyancing solicitor who who conducted the conveyancing when I initially acquired the premises. The fee calculation supplied of £550 has taken me by surprise as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.
The charges appear a bit high. If you you were to look around you might shave off some of the cost by as much as £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, if you were pleased with the service the firm gave you mightlive to regret choosing an an untested solicitor. If is important to be sure the firm can also act for TSB.

AssumingI were to buy a freehold homein Toddington mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Toddington?
The only reduction in fees you would make on is the Toddington conveyancing searches. The solicitor still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with your sellers solicitor, SDLT return, register the title etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage but it won't be meaningful.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Toddington? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identification documents of the potential client they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing retainer. The Terms of Engagement that you need to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. Should you refuse to hand over ID verification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to act for you.

My husband and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from Bank of Ireland as we want to carry out renovations to our house in Toddington. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Toddington solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Bank of Ireland don't usually appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Bank of Ireland panel.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Toddington off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Nottingham. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
