I am in the throes of changing my current homeowner loan to a Buy to Let Chelsea Building Society mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I require a lawyer for this. I spoke to the same Winnersh conveyancing solicitor who dealt with the legals when I initially acquired the property. The quote e-mailed to me of £470 is an eye-watering amount to do this as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.

How does conveyancing in Winnersh differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Winnersh contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Winnersh usually acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Winnersh or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Winnersh I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Winnersh in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
