I have just started taking steps with the aim of swapping over from my domestic mortgage to a Buy to Let Norwich and Peterborough Building Society mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I must appoint a lawyer as part of the process. I spoke to the same Tonbridge conveyancing solicitor who acted on my behalf when I first purchased the house. The pricing estimate issued of just over five hundred pounds has taken me by surprise as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.
The estimate does seem a tad on the high side. Where you are prepared to expend time scrutinising charges you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, providing that you were happy with the assistance the firm provided you maylive to regret choosing an an untested lawyer. Don't forget to enquire the conveyancer can act for Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Do make use of our search tool to get a quote a Tonbridge conveyancing firm on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society member panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Tonbridge.
Last August we completed a house move in Tonbridge. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Tonbridge?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Tonbridge. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner answers a questionnaire known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information is inaccurate, you could possibly take legal action against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Tonbridge.

We're in Tonbridge, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is Yorkshire BS , and our solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Tonbridge is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Tonbridge are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Tonbridge you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Tonbridge may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
