We previously chose conveyancing lawyers located in Bebington on the Nationwide solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate charge for dealing with the Nationwide mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Nationwide?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Nationwide but by your Bebington conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Nationwide panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Bebington. I have a mortgage offer with Virgin Money. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Virgin Money, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
