As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by HSBC but by your Burnham Market property lawyer. Some firms on the HSBC panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, TSB are being difficult. The Burnham Market solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but TSB are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
