We had chosen solicitors with offices in Claydon on the UBS solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a supplemental amount for the legal aspects of the UBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by UBS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by UBS but by your Claydon property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the UBS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
I am expecting a DIP from RBS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do RBS recommend any Claydon solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Claydon solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Claydon off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Leeds Building Society. 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 use 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 Leeds Building Society, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
