We had selected conveyancing lawyers based in Aylsham on the Nottingham solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further fee for handling the Nottingham mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Nottingham?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner can levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Nottingham but by your Aylsham conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Nottingham panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.
My wife and I are downsizing from our property in Aylsham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Aylsham. We have lived in Aylsham for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent told us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use their chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Aylsham
It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your own,trusted Aylsham conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
