We previously selected conveyancing lawyers locally in Ferryside on the Co-operative solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a supplemental sum for handling the Co-operative mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Co-operative?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Co-operative but by your Ferryside solicitor. Numerous firms on the Co-operative panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Ferryside. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £175. Soon after, the solicitor called me to say that they were not on the Coventry 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 Coventry 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.

Our offer on a house in Ferryside has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Ferryside. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS?

It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Ferryside conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some purchasers will apply for a home loan with Coventry BS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancer to proceed with the conveyancing in Ferryside.
