We had instructed conveyancers with offices in Newcastle upon Tyne on the Principality solicitor panel. They have just billed me a further fee for dealing with the Principality mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Principality?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer can charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Principality but by your Newcastle upon Tyne conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Principality panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Newcastle upon Tyne off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Skipton. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

I was recommended by a couple of local property agents in Newcastle upon Tyne to choose a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your site over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t offer any commission for sending work our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
