Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by HSBC but by your Chorley property lawyer. Some firms on the HSBC panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Chorley agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Chorley. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Lloyds going?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Chorley conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Concerning the next steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some purchasers would apply for a home loan with Lloyds and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to press on with searches.
