I have just started taking steps with the intention of porting my current homeowner loan to a Buy to Let Coventry Building Society mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I require a solicitor for this. I spoke to my previous Billingham conveyancing practitioner who dealt with the legals when I first acquired the property. The quote supplied of £550 has taken me by surprise as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.
The costs illustration is slightly on the high side. If you shop around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £125.

I have justbeen informed that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Billingham for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Billingham conveyancing specialists.
We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the property agent informed us that the owners will only proceed if we instruct their recommended solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Billingham
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Billingham conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will provide their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
