I'm in the process of porting my current homeowner home loan to a BTL Bank of Ireland mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I require a lawyer as part of the process. I spoke to my former Walthamstow Village conveyancing practitioner who dealt with the legals when I previously bought the property. The costs illustration provided of £575 plus disbursements has taken me by surprise as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.

We are soon to complete buying a property in Walthamstow Village but as a result of damage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the owner in the sum of £3k in the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract however Clydesdale are not allowing this. Why were they informed?
Any lawyer that is on a Clydesdale approved list is obliged to inform Clydesdale of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the reduction to Clydesdale then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Clydesdale and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Walthamstow Village.

My wife and I are purchasing a apartment in Walthamstow Village. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we have to send money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?

is it true that all Walthamstow Village conveyancing solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Lloyds approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be overseen by the CLC.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by HSBC. Is it usual for HSBC to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Walthamstow Village is approved on their conveyancing panel? HSBC have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Walthamstow Village I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Walthamstow Village in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

My solicitor (approximately 200 miles from merequires that I sign a statutory declaration prior to the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Walthamstow Village to attest and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are based in Walthamstow Village
