My partner’s brother is a conveyancer. I suspect that I'll be able to get mate’s rates for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of costs should I be expecting for conveyancing in Batley?
It’s a good idea to request two or three conveyancing quotes. Do use our comparison tool on this site. The estimates do be different but the service one can expect are distinct between solicitors as is true with most professions.
I am considering applying for a TSB mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Batley with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for TSB ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the TSB conveyancing panel, but TSB would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
When it comes to lenders such as Bank of Ireland, do Batley solicitors have to pay a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any bank fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
Is there a list of Coventry BS panel conveyancers in Batley on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of lending institutions make their panel listings open the public online. If you are looking for a Batley solicitor on the Coventry BS please make the most of our tool.
is it true that all Batley solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. Many lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Batley?
Batley conveyancing on leasehold flats normally involves the purchaser’s conveyancer submitting questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer such questions most will be willing to do so. They are entitled to charge a reasonable administration fee for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it is in excess of £800. The administration charge required by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration charges, otherwise the charge is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that you have little option but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to sell the property.
