I am in the throes of transferring my current homeowner home loan to a Buy to Let Birmingham Midshires mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I require a conveyancer as part of the process. I had a chat my former Tring conveyancing practitioner who dealt with the legals when I initially purchased the house. The pricing estimate e-mailed to me of £550 has shocked me as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.
The estimate does seem a little steep. Where you are content to spend time scrutinising quotes you may be able to reduce the fees slightly by as much as a hundred pounds. That being said, providing that you were satisfied with the assistance the firm offered you mightcome to regret choosing an a cheaper conveyancer.

we are a couple who intend to purchase a newly converted flat in Tring with a homeloan from Barclays .We use our Tring conveyancing lawyer but Barclays advised that her practice is not listed on their approved list of member firms. It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Barclays panel lawyer or retain our local solicitor and fork out for a Barclays panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Barclays use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers must be on the Barclays solicitor panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays
I am intent on selling our home in Tring and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Tring. Having lived in Tring for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Tring concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 asset 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.
