As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Coventry BS but by your Criccieth property lawyer. Some firms on the Coventry BS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
