We had selected solicitors with offices in Edgware on the Principality solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate charge for dealing with the Principality mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Principality?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner can charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Principality but by your Edgware property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Principality panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
Intending to buy a apartment in Edgware. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Edgware conveyancing practitioner is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

Notwithstanding that your previous Edgware conveyancing solicitor is not available you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the premises. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you need to seek permission via your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior permission. The consent must not not be unreasonably turned down. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
