I am in the throes of porting my existing standard home loan to a BTL Godiva Mortgages Ltd mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I require a conveyancer as part of the process. I had a chat the same Frogmore conveyancing firm who acted on my behalf when I previously purchased the property. The quote issued of £550 is surprising as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.
The costs illustration is fractionally on the high side. Where you are happy to spend time comparing quotes you could shave off some of the expense by as much as £100 plus VAT.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Frogmore is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Frogmore are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Frogmore you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Frogmore may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
My wife and I intend to purchase our first property in Frogmore. Conveyancing lawyer has been selected. The mortgage adviser advised that a survey is not needed as the property was only built in 2001.
The bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. As the residence is more than ten years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could suffice. The report should highlight any apparent issues and suggest additional investigation where relevant. Where there are any signs of problems obtain a full structural survey.
