We had selected solicitors based in Eccleston and St Helens on the Yorkshire BS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further fee for the legal aspects of the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Yorkshire BS?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Yorkshire BS but by your Eccleston and St Helens property lawyer. Some firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.
The mortgage over my property is with Principality for my property in Eccleston and St Helens. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Principality?
Your original mortgage agreement with Principality will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Principality will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Principality directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Principality conveyancing panel lawyer.
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Eccleston and St Helens. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £200. A few days later, the conveyancing practitioner called me to say that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS 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.
