I am not well enough to travel far from Dersingham. I would like to know the reason why all Dersingham conveyancers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for lenders to restrict who can act for them, from the public’s or solicitor’s standpoint, the other side of the coin is that mortgage companies are becoming ever more anxious and consider it necessary to shield themselves from illegal activities. As a consequence of this concern mortgage companies have consolidated their conveyancing panel to a size that they are happy to control.
We had instructed conveyancers locally in Dersingham on the Lloyds solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a further sum for dealing with the Lloyds mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Lloyds?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Lloyds but by your Dersingham conveyancer. Some firms on the Lloyds panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
How can we tell if a Dersingham conveyancing solicitor on the Skipton panel is any good?

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Dersingham solicitor having checked that they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Kent Reliance will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Kent Reliance will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Dersingham postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Dersingham.
