We previously instructed solicitors locally in Choppington on the Virgin Money solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional sum for dealing with the Virgin Money mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Virgin Money?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Virgin Money but by your Choppington conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Virgin Money panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
It is not clear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Choppington bank branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Choppington conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the solicitor is on the bank approved list, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
