Remortgage conveyancing fees

Hi Im remortgaging my buy to let with C&G.

I had to fill in a solicitors details and have contacted the solictor for a price on acting on the remortgage.

It comes out at £278 ?

Does this seem a lot to you ?

Its broken down as follows:

Conveyancing £150
VAT on above £26.25

Land reg fees for official copies £14.10

Land Reg Fees £50

Land reg searches £14.10





Just curious why I have to pay all the searche. When I remortaged my residential I never had to get a solicitor invloved the building socierty did it all.

    No, but you lender would have covered those costs.

    Those charges are fine!.

    I am a fee charging WoM Mortgage broker.
    I now no longer give information and opinion within the Mortgage boards, because a number of posters who, having approached me professionally, agreed my fee-which has been been made very clear at the outset, taken my advice (normally cancelling a [home visit] meeting at short notice) have then approached one of the fee-free brokers on here to arrange the very same deal I have advised.
    Whilst I totally concur with the ethos of "money saving"- abusing the goodwill of a professional who provides a quality service is taking it too far! :mad:

    Those costs seem fair and reasonable to me.

    OK thanks.

    Good good deal on mortgage, I suppose they dont do a deal where they include the fees.
