We had appointed conveyancing lawyers based in New Southgate on the Aldermore solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental charge for handling the Aldermore mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your solicitor may levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Aldermore but by your New Southgate lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Aldermore panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Skipton are being problematic. The New Southgate solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Skipton are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in New Southgate. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel. 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 New Southgate property lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
