Me and my fiance have recently had an offer agreed on a property and had an appointment on Monday with HSBC for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to choosing a property lawyer that unless they are on their approved panel of property lawyers then we will have to pay out an extra charge of £250+. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to select a conveyancer to act for them in addition to the one we select on our behalf and we are liable for their fees. I have requested HSBC to send me with a list so I can seek quotes only from their approved solicitors but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a list online?
Ask HSBC what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for HSBC before. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Alternatively please use our search tool and we may be able to find you a property lawyer in Kingston upon Thames on the approved list for HSBC.
