As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Santander but by your Newall Green conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Santander panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in Newall Green. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently received a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the invoice as usual because all rents and maintenance invoices should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

Me and my partner are buying a 2 room first floor flatin Newall Green with a loan from a bank. We would like to retain our lawyer in Newall Green yet our bank advise he's not on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our bank panel firms or stay with our Newall Green conveyancer and incur the extra costs for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our lender use our Newall Green lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage company mortgage issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank's conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had open panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Newall Green : 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
