We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Flint Mountain conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
We previously instructed conveyancers based in Flint Mountain on the Lloyds solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate sum for handling the Lloyds mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Lloyds?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Lloyds but by your Flint Mountain solicitor. Numerous firms on the Lloyds panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Nottingham done the valuation? Have you advised Nottingham as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
