My partner’s dad is a property lawyer. I am hopeful that I can be offered preferential fee for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what kind of fees would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Conwy?

We note that you have a search directory identifying solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our own conveyancing in Conwy?

We had selected conveyancers with offices in Conwy on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for the legal aspects of the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Bank of Ireland?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Bank of Ireland but by your Conwy conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from RBS as we wish to carry out improvements to our home in Conwy. Do we need to appoint a bricks and mortar Conwy solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
RBS do not ordinarily require a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the RBS panel.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Santander. Is it usual for Santander to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Conwy is approved on their conveyancing panel? Santander have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Santander to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Santander conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
