We previously appointed conveyancing lawyers based in Freezywater on the Nationwide solicitor panel. They have just billed me an additional charge for the legal aspects of the Nationwide mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Nationwide?

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor can charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Nationwide but by your Freezywater conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Nationwide panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Freezywater completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

    Answering conveyancing due diligence enquiries Where consent is required before sale in Freezywater Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your solicitor will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Freezywater leasehold property is £350.
