We previously chose conveyancing lawyers based in Petts Wood on the Santander solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional fee for the legal aspects of the Santander mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Santander?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your solicitor is entitled to charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Santander but by your Petts Wood lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Santander panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Petts Wood conveyancing solicitors were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Principality?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Principality conducted the valuation? Have you informed Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Petts Wood. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Petts Wood and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Petts Wood. We have lived in Petts Wood for many years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Petts Wood in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor advised that some banks will not issue a mortgage on a flying freehold house.
