We had selected conveyancers based in Easthampstead on the Co-operative solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental charge for the legal aspects of the Co-operative mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Co-operative?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Co-operative but by your Easthampstead conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Co-operative panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Easthampstead. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £225.

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the UBS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
