I'm in the process of swapping over from my current residential home loan to a BTL Britannia mortgage. The bank has said that I need a solicitor as part of the process. I got in contact with my former Penrith conveyancing firm who acted on my behalf when I previously acquired the premises. The quote provided of £500 is surprising as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.

That being said, providing that you were content with the legal work the firm offered you couldlive to rue choosing an a cheaper lawyer. Remember to check the conveyancer can represent Britannia.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent advised that the owners will only proceed if we instruct the agent's preferred lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’.

We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Contact the sellers directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Penrith conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by corporate headquarters.
