We had selected conveyancers locally in Heywood on the Clydesdale solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional amount for dealing with the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Clydesdale?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your lawyer can levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Clydesdale but by your Heywood conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Clydesdale panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.

How does conveyancing in Heywood differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Heywood come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Heywood typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Heywood or who has acted in the same development.
