I am in the throes of porting my current homeowner loan to a BTL Coventry Building Society mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I require a lawyer as part of the process. I had a chat my former Twickenham Park conveyancing practitioner who acted on my behalf when I initially acquired the property. The fee estimate supplied of £550 has shocked me as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.
The estimate does seem a little on the high side. If you you were to look around you might trim some of the cost by as much as £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, if you were pleased with the legal work the firm gave you maycome to rue opting for an a cheaper solicitor.

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Twickenham Park? What am I being asked for?
You are right in these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Twickenham Park. However these days you can not complete any conveyancing transaction without first handing over evidence of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a utility bill. Please note that if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of identification it needs to be both the paper part as well as the photo card part, one is not sufficient without the other.
Evidence of your origin of monies is required in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations.

I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of obstruction in Twickenham Park house deals. Is that correct?

Searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Twickenham Park.
Am I right to be concerned by third parties that I am dealing with are recommending an internet conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Twickenham Park conveyancing company?
As with many professional services, often input from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are lots of parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may suggest lawyers to retain. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the right to choose your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that many banks operate an approved list of conveyancers you must use for the lender aspect of your house move.
I would like to let out my leasehold apartment in Twickenham Park. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Notwithstanding that your previous Twickenham Park conveyancing solicitor is not available you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the property. The accepted inference is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to obtain consent from your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without prior permission. Such consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can I make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Twickenham Park conveyancing firm to represent me?
