My fiance and I are purchasing a newbuild apartment in Ipswich with a mortgage from Chelsea Building Society.We use our Ipswich conveyancing solicitor but Chelsea Building Society advised that she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Chelsea Building Society panel firm or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the Chelsea Building Society solicitor panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Chelsea Building Society
We had selected conveyancing lawyers with offices in Ipswich on the Virgin Money solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a supplemental charge for handling the Virgin Money mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Virgin Money?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer can levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Virgin Money but by your Ipswich solicitor. Numerous firms on the Virgin Money panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Barclays. Ipswich conveyancing lawyers were selected. How long does it take for Barclays to send the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Barclays done the survey? Have you informed Barclays as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Barclays conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Ipswich. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
