We had chosen conveyancers located in Hampton on the TSB solicitor panel. They have just billed me a further amount for handling the TSB mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by TSB?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by TSB but by your Hampton property lawyer. Numerous firms on the TSB panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

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 Hampton lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
