We previously chose conveyancers with offices in Horncastle on the Aldermore solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate charge for handling the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Horncastle conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Aldermore panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
Planning on purchasing a house in Horncastle. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage".

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 Horncastle lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Horncastle differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Horncastle contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Horncastle typically buy the site, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Horncastle or who has acted in the same development.
