We had chosen conveyancers based in Cambridge Heath on the Yorkshire BS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional amount for dealing with the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Yorkshire BS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer can levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Yorkshire BS but by your Cambridge Heath property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Cambridge Heath off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Yorkshire BS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. 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 Yorkshire BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
